How do you get the clock out to check the bulb

wat car??

if this is on your el wagon. remove the ash tray, and stereo surround. then take off the whole dash facia about 6-7 screws i think (3 near your cluster, couple either side of the steering wheel column and a couple where you removed the h/u surround. should come off relatively easily, unplug all the plugs and remove the clock.

If your careful...

Remove the rear demister bezel. Pop your hand in ebihind and the clock should push out. Be gentle though. Then just unplug the clock.

If that doesnt work...

There is a doco in here that explains how to access the dash. But Mash85 has it down pat.
