If the clock is separate to the radio it is definitely the fuse that is blown or the fuse holder faulty in the fuse box! If the clock is in the radio display check the fuse behind the radio unit.....remove the unit to access it!

Did you actually check the radio plug for power, or does the display just not illuminate? I ask because this radio has a little bulb inside that burns out that illuminates the clock, and radio station. You can confirm this by trying to use the radio normally, and trying to 'seek' a station. If you can get it to tune in, it is definitely the bulb. Another way is to shine a nice bright flashlight into the clock face. You should be able to see the stations and clock, that at least will tell you that the radio is working. - Hope this helps =)

2007 Toyota Camry. Dome light, radio, cigarette lighter, horn and clock not working and all fuses are good on both fuse boxes. Any one knows why?

All of those are controlled by or influenced the BCM. You need a good auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool to check the BCM and communication to and from it.

Why does my clock and radio have to be reset when i turn the ignition off and then back on? my radio goes to safe mode and the clock reads 12.00

Hi. Please recheck the fuses. There should be ( I think a 5 amp) fuse that supplies the dash cluster and radio power to keep the clock and preset channels active when the ignition is off.

Radio and clock dont work

The radio and clock get power from the battery for memory thru a different fuse than the radio fuse. Sometimes this is thru the cig lighter circuit.
You might want to look at all of the fuses.
Could be a problem inside the radio too.

My car radio,cd,tape player and clock does not work

hi margie, your fault lies with the power line feeding both your clock and car radio units. check the fuse of the line feeding your radio/clock section. the fuse box should have the areas clearly marked. also check if the ground connection to radio/clock is not diconnected sumhow. if this advice does not help then it wub advisable for you to consult with nearest auto-elecrician. cheers.

Vw passat 2004, 1.8T, Radio has no power, I have checked the fuse per the fuse box diagram (20 amp) seems to be ok, but have changed with a new 20 amp fuse, still no power. Is there a secondary fuse in...

first check the aux fuse, then check to see if the clock comes on the radio, if it don't check the radio it should have fuses, check them. check the connector to the radio for power, with the key in the off position you should have 1 12vlt power with the key on you should have 2 12vlt power... if the fuses are good on the radio and you don't have any power to the connector, it could be a relay or ignition switch

Radio/clock will not work. fuse 10 amp is good

There is usually 2 power sources to that stereo, one for when key on & one constant for radio memory & clock, you know that right? Check for that& Make sure it has good ground also. Use another ground source from back of stereo to metal just to be sure, if no luck, probably time for new stereo.

Navigation, radio, and clock not coming on?

Why did you replace the lighter fuse in the first place - something may have shorted something out? when you put in the new fuse does it blow right away? make sure the fuse is the correct amp for that spot. also check all the fuses - sometimes there can be more than one fuse that controls many items such as radio, nav, and lights.to answer your questions though no it cant really be anything else than a short blowing a fuse. you just have to find which fuse it is and where the short could be.
