Clock, radio display sometimes working sometimes not working

What kind of car ? There is a thing call a clock spring inside the steering column that lets you turn the steering wheel an still have controls on the wheel , an sometime the wires break ! How cars clock spring works

Replace it, there is thermal defect present on the main board or the display board. You have to remove the radio, disassemble and use a heat gun and freeze mist to find the part.

No, there two screw under trim and one behind the clock. The clock pop out with a flathead screwdriver. Try this first, with the key on and radio off.
hold down 1 and 6 on the audio unit.
Turn audio unit on while still holding down 1 and 6. look at the display. Sometime the display will show you the SN#
If i does display the SN#, the first half of the number will be display first and the second half will be display next.

If the radio works, but the display doesn't the bulb is burned out, I think removing the radio is necessary to replace it. I would see it as an excellent opportunity to upgrade sound systems and go with an aftermarket unit that will interface with your Ipod.

I've seen the clock assemblies go bad on these models. Sometimes one or more of the digital segments will go out not displaying the time correctly or the whole display goes blank. There are two fuses in the clock circuit. Quick check: If your gauges on your dash work and your radio is working, your fuses are good. It also shares a ground with allot of other components. if you don't have any other electrical issues, your ground is also good. The clock will have to be replaced, unfortunately they are quite expensive and they're only available through Honda. -hope this helps.

Sorry. The clock, the dome light and the radio are on the same circuit. If the radio works, the clock is bad.

Hi All, the very same thing happened to me. Cold weather broke my radio and the display screen stayed on with the time and temperature but the radio wouldn't work. I rang Renault & they said I need to come in an get a new radio but I put it off. In the end the problem started affecting my battery and the car wouldn't start. But then when I jump started it, it also started the radio again perfectly. Problem solved!
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Check your fuse more then likely it blew. Car radio Clock and Cigarette lighter all connected to the same fuse.

check all your fuses,,,sometime the radio display is on a separate fuse.....

YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE MINIATURE BULB THAT LITES UP THE DISPLAY, YOU WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE RADIO FROM THE CAR AND THEN REMOVE THE TOP SHEET METAL COVER ON THE RADIO, YOU WILL SEE THE BULB SOCKET PLUGGED INTO THE BACK OF THE DISPLAY.
