That's your stock clock. It probably burnt out or came unplugged if it isn't working, or the fuse is out (thought I think your stereo is on the same fuse). Even though the time is only displayed in that top part, the entire assembly is the clock.

so the top little screen is the clock which i figured but the big screen under it and the little screen on the bottom is nothing?

thats weird that they would make it look like its something

Yeah, if you pull it out of there you'll see the entire thing is the circuit board for the clock. Seems plenty of space for a dumb clock. I've seen just a blank cover for that spot in some junkyards, so if you find one of those you could throw switches or a gauge in there.

Thats where the clock goes, Models without the clock get a blockoff plate.
Renix models had a "system sentry" that went there, it was pretty cool.
