So i just pulled my car out of storage and been working on it for a looooong time, and noticed the clock and radio dont work. Now i have read alot of people say to change the dome light fuse, but my dome light works fine. The clock doesnt display anything its just completely blank, also on the dash are the defrost and hazard buttons supposed to be illuminated as well as the climate control panel? I cant remember because its been so long but i dont have either, i have the green light for selecting what method of air flow but nothing else. I lost the kickpanel fuse cover so i dont have a reffrence to tell me what fuse is what. Everything else works fine minus the things i mentioned, thanks to all! Any thoughts?

The car? 95 240sx

 

Climate control yes, hazard and defrost no. If i had a 95 I would take a pic of my cover... I can take one for ya, just to see how similar, maybe theyre the same.

 

thanks i think my buddy might still have his, about the climate control, are the buttons and **** numbers backlit in addition to the green light?

 

They should be IIRC. The s13s had sliders, and IIRC they were backlit as well.

 

ok then that adds another question to the problem lol

any thoughts off hand what to look for or what fuse might be at fault here

 

bad ground, but not really sure. electrical problems can be anything along the circuit.

 

Chcekc for a blown fuse, beocuse I was just about to say it was ur interior light fure lol

 

is there another interior lighting that not connected to the dome, because the dome still works, but i cant recall if the footwell lighting worked, so far all the fuses have checked out (all have been checked minus the right side of the footwell fusebox), minus the horn, but that was blown before i put the car away and everything worked fine then. I am a little stumped, anyone know what fuse exactly the clock runs off of?

thank again for all your help so far, lets hope we can crack this one lol

 

The clock and lighting do not share the same ground.

 

Its a fuse, same thing happned in my car.. I have a 95 as well. I forgot the name on the fuse cover, but its a brown 7.5 fuse on the bottom right of the fuse box in the kick panel

 

okay this may sound stupid, but is the dimmerswitch turned down? because my mom thought this happened to her 07 ion *(lol) because she couldnt see anything, and i just turned up the dimmer switch.
