There is a built in digital clock on the top-middle of the dash. Recently the clock went out. At first I *** it was a fuse, but then, strangely, the clock came back on. Currently, the clock will go back and forth, off for a few days, the back on for a day. It's usually off, but every once in a while it turns back on.

Anyone have any ideas? My current guess is that I might have to switch out the clock itself, but I have no idea how to get into the dash to do that. I don't want to start messing up things in the dash.

Any *** would be appreciated.

It could be a loose connection in the wiring or the led display is worn out and failing. I would check for a poor ground at the clock and goe from there.  

generally you do not have to take apart the whole dash to remove a clock,  There usually are finishing panels around the radio, clock that pop out, to expose screws.  Your best bet would be to buy a cheap repair manual for your car at your local parts store if you plan on ripping your car apart yourself.  

Be careful, interior trim pieces scratch and break easily  

My daughter has the same problem in her '99 CRV. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but I hope to soon.

Please let me know if you find anything out. I'll do the same.  

Did you find a resolution to this? I have the same problem - I'm suspecting a bad connection, or bad joint in the clock itself. Did you find out how to remove the clock?
Help would be appreciated - thanks!  

Same problem, the clock would work on and off until it stopped working all together. Apart from buying a repair manuel, I am hoping some write about how to fix the clock.  

I have the same problem. But it happens only in winter.
Wondering when the temp goes down clock shuts off.Is there a way to insulate?
