Default Clock Light

I have a 2002 Accord Coupe and my back light for the clock & hazzard light switch have gone out. They both work, just can't see them at night. Does anybody have a link or directions to access the bulb(s) and which one it takes. Sorry if this has been posted before, I could not find anything in the search feature for my car.

Thanks

P.S. I am considering ordering one of the factory OEM look-a-like rear spoilers off of ebay, has anybody had any luck with them or any suggestions

Nevermind.....I just found a video on youtube to do it. Looks like about a 5 minute job at most. Just need to get the bulb at the dealer. Looks like they had several videos for minor stuff

I have an aftermarket factory spoiler... thought it was OEM until I noticed it didn't say "Accord" on the bottom of it. It's been working fine for over a year now and I bought it used.

It is either not getting power, or the clock unit is bad.

Get a volt meter to test for voltage. Touch red meter lead to the wire you want to test, and the black meter lead to a good ground. Usually a good ground would be a bolt that is attached to metal.

On the 4-pin connector going to the clock, the blk wire should have continuity to ground (zero resistance). The pnk, yel, and red/blk wires should all have 12V.

the clock unit works cause the hazard light button works and the clock works too. its just the light that doesnt work.

But is it only supposed to light up at night by itself or should it come on when i turn the headlights on along with the rest of the dash lights??
