    I have a stock 02 Grand Prix GT with the Bose radio system. The clock works when it decides I need to know what time it is or what radio station I am listening to, otherwise, it is blank. It appears that the clock is a seperate unit in the upper left corner of the face of the radio. Is it possible to pop it out and replace it? Or can someone tell me what wire I need to check to tighten up since it appears something is loose? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Bill

    Sounds like you have a loose solder somewhere. If your comfortable with pulling it apart see if you can see some loose wires or anything somewhere

    My 2000 did the same thing,it was the factory bulb that had a bad connection.I was going to solder in an led bulb,but i hit a decent sized branch in the road one night and its worked great ever since...not joking.lol.If you can still see the time or station in the display when you shine a flashlight in it then its probly the bulbs connection.You can switch the display card out with one from a junkyard stereo, but chances of getting one with a blown light is pretty good.Its a common problem for the bulb to burn out in these.
