glove box light

i'm 99% sure that my glovebox light used to go off when the box was closed, but now it doesn't

what broke!?

the switch?

located on the right hand side of the glow box, just below that black plastic arm that stops travel - small black kinda rectangular button.

have to take the glove box interior out (after removing about 17 screws) to get to the switch.

damn screw crazy designers, and it still doesn't close easily lol.

so there is a switch, and it's not supposed to be on the whole time right?

lee	04-29-2003 08:58 PM

mine only comes on when the the glove box is open AND the headlights are on, so I guess my answer is "correct".

Just curious - how do you know that the light doesn't go off when the glovebox is closed?

gaps around the seal of the glovebox cast light on the passenger floor when the box is closed, it'd be like cutting a hole in your fridge and then closing the door.

the button still works, so i'm going to probably just do something to make the button actually push in

Well, yeah, I mean I routinely clean out my fridge, remove the shelves and climb inside to make sure that the light turns off when the door is closed. I don't want to waste electricity, after all.

I wanted to do the same in my glovebox, but hadn't yet worked out how to climb inside of it without disconnecting my own head.

I figured it was probably something like that. Thanks.

It's a good thing you have those default "smilies." Otherwise, after hearing your Elmo dream, I'd likely take you seriously.:eek: :D

Well, good - that means the smilies are working. As long as nobody takes me seriously, then nobody will get offended by everything I type anymore...

Now that I'm no longer moderator, I can offend whomever I damned well please, and just let Mike worry about it. :D:D:D:D:D:D

The switch works but does not make contact. I think that sounds familar. The screws that hold the hing need adjustment.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 09:46 PM.
