    The clock on my 355 is inop, and the light to the clock is also inop. I believe they have seperate leads. I checked all the fuses and they are ok. Thus, any ideas? I suppose I'll hook up the clock directly to a 12v source to confirm it is working before I go and buy a new clock. Thank you-

    Yup, seperate leads. Clock aways gets power, and the bulb only gets power when the parking or headlights are on. I would bet something got detached, perhaps during a radio installation? Check all the connections first.

    It could be the ground wire as this would effect both the illumination and the power as neither would work without the ground. Let me know if I can help you in SD? Happy to have a look at it for you....

    You say "no current", but does the supply lead have voltage (12-14V) ? Most modern clocks operate with quartz (piezoelectric), or electronically synthesized piezoelectric, movement --- which means they don't draw current --- they only need a voltage supply. I don't know about the 355 clock specifically, but it may be something to consider as you're troubleshooting.
