The problem is the light bulb behind the screen if you pull the radio out of the dash & pull the radio apart the bulb is right behind the screen with a little work you can get it out, and you can buy it at a pontiac/gm garage. Part # 16208443. Good Luck

SOURCE: Can't see anything on the clock/Radio Display

the radio display is lighted by a tiny bulb inside the radio, to change this u must remove the radio from the dash and take off the top sheet metal cover, under that u will see a small twist in bulb socket, replace that little bulb, the bulb is about $2 and avail at any full sevice auto parts store.

2011 Kia Sorento. The left rear blinker on my 2011 Sorento is not working.

How do I know if my flasher relay is bad?

Symptom of a bad or failing turn signal / hazard flasher is hazards or turn signal lights that do not function. If the flasher breaks or has any internal issues it can cause the lights to malfunction, or not respond at all when the turn signal lever or hazard light button are pressed.

For the cost involved, I would change it.

How to set the clock on my 2004 Silouhette--no H or M buttons.

I found the buttons! When the light was shining on my console I was able to notice them. The Hr and Min were no longer obvious in normal light, but there are two small buttons below the Volume Control knob that adjust the clock.
