For a Digital Clock:
1. Locate the clock buttons: The buttons are usually located on the radio or climate control panel, near the clock display itself. Look for small buttons labeled "SET," "+," or "-," sometimes represented by small arrows.
2. Enter Clock Setting Mode: Usually, you need to press and hold the "SET" button (or a similar button) for a few seconds. The clock digits might start blinking to indicate that you're in setting mode.
3. Adjust the Time: Use the "+" and "-" buttons to adjust the hours and minutes.
4. Exit Setting Mode: Once you've set the correct time, simply wait a few seconds for the clock to automatically save the setting, or press and hold the "SET" button again. The blinking should stop, indicating the clock is set.
For an Analog Clock (Less likely, but possible):
If your 1998 Buick Regal has an analog clock, resetting it will likely require physical adjustment of the clock hands. This usually involves:
1. Finding the adjustment knob: Look behind the clock itself or on the clock's face for a small knob. It might be hidden or require a small tool to access it.
2. Adjusting the clock hands: Gently turn the knob to set the correct time.
If you're having trouble:
* Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource for specific instructions for your particular model.
* Search online for "1998 Buick Regal clock reset" along with your trim level (e.g., "1998 Buick Regal GS clock reset"). More specific searches often yield helpful videos or forum posts.
If you cannot find the buttons or knob, it's possible the clock mechanism itself may be faulty. In this case, a qualified mechanic or auto electrician will be necessary to address the issue.
