How can I get clock to lite up, does small panel come out? this clock is located under a air vent above the driving lite switches. US 1998 version Thanks, you all are a great HELP!   james fulcher Posted on Tuesday, November 26, 2002 - 08:18 am:    You can get a new light, which goes behind the clock to illuminate the numbers. I got one about a month ago from rover connection. About ten bucks but easy to change and worth it to have a functioning clock. took about ten minutes to change. Good Luck   Ramsay (3toedsloth) Posted on Tuesday, November 26, 2002 - 08:25 am:    Did you try thumping it? Mine would cut off and all I had to do was thump it with a finger and it would cut back on. Unfortunately those days are over... back to being late.

I got a bulb at autozone and took the old bulb out of the socket that it's part of and put the new one in... about 20min and 2 bucks   Dana Giles (Dana_G) Posted on Tuesday, November 26, 2002 - 04:48 pm:    Gordon, I like your idea...do you remember the specs on the bulb you picked up? I think I might just attempt to replace mine this evening....I'll probably try thumping it first though...hadn't tried that yet   Dana Giles (Dana_G) Posted on Tuesday, November 26, 2002 - 06:02 pm:    Whaddya know, thumping works...by far the cheapest fix ever on a Rover   JMoore Posted on Tuesday, November 26, 2002 - 07:38 pm:    Just curious, how did your wife drive into a lake due to a burnt bulb? Seems kinda odd... If your Disco is full of lake water you may have bigger problems.   gordon sitts (Gsitts) Posted on Tuesday, November 26, 2002 - 10:33 pm:    The bulb I got was one of those bubble packs with two interior lights in it, the lights looked just like the one in the holder,all glass with a couple of wires instead of a base. I worked the old bulb loose and put in the new bulb bending the wires to fit the base, they are held in by the pressure of the base in the clock. I did all this while sitting in autozones parking lot, not much to it.

Apparently 'thumping' worked pretty well at this point though   Hank (Disco_Tex) Posted on Wednesday, November 27, 2002 - 08:41 am:    http://www.discoweb.org/faq/clock.htm This is the article I used for reference. Fixed mine last month...
