Hummmmm, based on that I will just continue to look for another unit just like mine. My situation is that the display window in the upper left corner has gone blank and my situation is the light bulb is soldered to a circuit board and replacing it is beyond my expertise level. Local GM dealer wants to send it off to have repaired for an amount I don't want to pay. My AM/FM/CD all work fine but I really do miss the clock. Have looked for just a clock that I can put in the car over the display window but have not found out that has a light in it for night driving.
