      Clock

      So my dash clock in my O8 aveo does not work. The airbag on and off light works, but thats it. I checked the fuse and it was fine. Is there a way to fix this without replacing the whole clock???

      Do a search on the topic. I think someone had determined it's caused by a bad diode in the clock - but unless you are savvy with electronic repairs you might not be able to repair it.

      My clock went bad under warranty and they replaced the clock. It was like pulling teeth to get the dealer to do it, but persistence pays.

      If it's not worth the effort, put a piece of black electrical tape over it. Fortunately the car will run the same with or without the dumb clock.

      Hi boopbettyx

      The fuse information is on page 6-88 of your manual. Did you purchase this Aveo from a GM dealership? If so I may be able to call and see if they can look into this issue for you. Just send me a private message if you are interested in my assistance. Happy Saturday!

      Hi I am actually not a technician. While I am here to assist you I would not be able to answer that question without it being looked at. The Customer Care Agents use the dealerships as our eyes and ears in the field. I would be happy to do some research into this and make some calls for you if you are interested.

      No, the clock is a piece of electronic garbage. My clock also goes blank. And that's 6 months after it was replaced under warranty with a new clock.

      GM reps will tell you to go to a dealer to make you go "dancing" with the dealer, asking them to fix it. If your car is over three years old it's out of warranty - if so, that's a waste of time. Even if they give you a new clock it's a POS.

      I had a continued correspondence with "Jackie" about this very issue - the bottom line is that GM will tell you that it is at the discretion of the dealership that you go to. Neither Jackie, nor GM, nor any dealer wants to fix this. Don't hold your breath waiting for a recall on the stupid clock. It's not a safety issue.

      My advice is to put a piece of black electrical tape over the clock display and forget about it. Let's hope that their crappy clock is the only thing that goes wrong with our Aveos.
