ISSUE: Dim or loss of illumination of the electronic digital clock display during daylight hours and/or when the headlamps are on may be caused by a bad bulb and socket assembly.


ACTION: Before returning the clock for repairs, first check that circuit 296 is supplying power to the clock. If circuit 296 is okay, the bulb and socket assembly (E6DZ-13B765-D) may be bad and should be replaced.
