Lesson number one, when working with anything eletrical......disconnect your batter!! The fuse for your clock and radio is under the hood in the box by your battery. It should be the fuse that is red/brown in color and says 2.5 on it. Pull it out and see if it is busted.

Fuse 4 dummies!

Since you don't appear to be an electrical genius, make it simple:
Option 1: Go with a friend who knows how to check your fuse!
Option 2: Go your dealer and ask him for the favor.
Option 3: buy that if you want to play again in the future
And the ultime lesson is: Don't touch any wire if you don't know how to check a fuse.
Good luck anyway!

In the electrical section of the Manual, there is a fuse layout diagram for both the in-cabin fuse box (driver side, left knee) and the engine fuse box (beside the battery). The manual would tell you how to acces/open this boxes. The diagram would tell you which fuse is for the radio, clock, etc... Pull out the fuse specified in the manual using the fuse holder/clip you will find inside the in-cabin fuse box. Check if the wire (u-shaped) inside the plastic portion of the fuse body is cut (blown). Replace (if it is blown) with the SAME amp rated fuse. The amp rating is the number you see on top of the fuse (7.5, 10, 15...and so on).........

......Okay, really, just read your Manual, this should be very easy.

I've attached a pic of my engine bay fusebox.

Look at the yellow thing with the 2 fuses in it... look at the bottom fuse without the numbers on it that is different than all the other fuses. Check that fuse. I'm sure it's burned out.

Try to guess why mine is different.
