Analog clock

Can someone tell me how to replace the bulb on the analog clock on my 08 Fusion? How do you take the clock out? Thanks

Hi elrey.:D First, you remove the center-stack faceplate/fascia that surrounds the clock, radio etc... It is fastened by spring clips. Starting at the bottom of the faceplate, get your fingers under/behind the faceplate and pull out gently but firmly. Once the bottom spring clips release/pop loose, work your way up the sides and to the top. Relying on memory, the clock and other buttons attached to the face plate have wiring harnesses running to them, so carefully release the wiring clips before pulling the faceplate too far from the dash. Once you have gone this far, the rest is easy to see. The bulb twists into the clock housing from behind (like a headlight bulb)

 

Good luck.:beerchug:
