1997 Honda Accord Clock Repair?

• Hi, I have a 1997 Honda Accord and I recently got the stereo replaced. When I picked the car up I had to re-set the clock and I opened the thing where the buttons are and the buttons were gone, all except the reset one. It was probably a mistake by the guy, but the place is kind of far away so I don't want to take it all the way back to him. What I'm wondering is if my local Honda Dealership can replace those buttons... The actual clock works, just I cant set it. Can they do that? And if so, how much would it cost?

• Answer:

  When you first put the clock in and turned it on, did you notice what the time was on it? If not, disconnect one of your battery leads for a couple minutes, then reconnect it and look at the clock. For the sake of discussion, let's say it reads midnight. Fine. A couple minutes before midnight some evening, disconnect the battery again, wait for midnight and reconnect the battery. Clock is set! You'll still have to reprogram your station buttons, though.
