I ran into a gas station and bought a pop and got back in my 99 Grand Prix and no radio or clock light. I checked the fuses, both good and after I replaced them, the radio came back on but no clock or radio light. Clock has kept time trough out.

Hey,
I have the same problem on my 97 GTP. The problem is a light that has burned out. I have found a guy on ebay that fixes them for about 40 bucks. I will send info on him when I find it!

It may not necessarily be a burned out bulb, I was told it's bad solder joints. It may be something you can fix yourself, I think I remember hearing a few say they'd done it. You might find more info on www.clubgp.com

Your right GTPGIRL it was just the bulb that can loose. Resoldiered and poof the display worked again!

Yeah, I've owned four pontiacs, and two of them had the display issue. Both were '97s, one a Bonneville, the other a GTP. My '94 GP SE didn't do it, or if it did, it didn't get bad enough to totally go out, and my '99 hasn't done it.

Sounds like a standard Delco fare. I have yet to see a GP w/o radio light problems. Most either live with it, or buy an aftermarket.

I have 2000 GrandPrix GT with the "Bose sound system", the sound is good but the CD player SUCKS & the display is not working. I guess I'll opt for a Pioneer (special fit) for $300 instead of wasting $100+ on repair to have it only happen again. Glad to find I'm not going crazy!

thank you all for the help!
