Clock disassembly

[pienjo]

Hi,

I have a 2005 3-door Kalos/Aveo, and the clock in the center console is a bit wonky. It'll keep time, but it only lights up intermittantly. Sometimes it'll work for months on end, sometimes it won't work for months on end, and somtimes it just flashes randomly. Personally, I suspect it's a bad connection of some sorts.

My dealer decides that the clock module needs to be replaced, and wants 150 euro ($190) + labour (which will probably be another $50 at the very least) to do so, and to be honest it's not worth that to me.

However, I do know my way with electronics, so I would like to have a shot at fixing it. I can't figure out how to access it, though; I tried releasing all screws that I could find to open the center console, but I haven't gotten very far.

Does anyone know how to access the clock? I'd be much obliged,

Martijn

What's the part # for replacing the dummy plugs...?
