How does the switch on the glove box light work

Post Mon Jul 25, 2005 12:06 pm

I car't figure out how the light works. The bulb holder has one connector on it but there are two wires. The switch does not seem to have any connection on it and if the swith fits onto the back of the bulb holder where does the other wire go!!!!!!!!. Its not a big issue but bloody annoying.

This isn't directed at you Colin and I'm sure people will think I'm a dick but could people be a bit more specific in their subject matters. I know that in the great big scheme of things it's not important but it helps other people know whether to read the post, ie whether they'll be able to help or not, or does everyone read every single post?

ItÃƒ”š's me that is the dick Sorry and point taken. The light and switch were missing so I went to the breakers and got some from there. They werenÃƒ”š't connected so I couldnÃƒ”š't see how it went together. The switch has no connections and the holder only has one.

Colin, Ive put a pic up in your other thread about this.

Thanks form the pic JMC it is a great help. Mine dosn't look anything like this so I will have to go to the stealers to get the right one. Do you know where abouts in the glovebox the bulb goes? mine has no bracket or obvious location.

Its not very clear in the pic but the bulb is at the top of the switch. I always thought it was a bit odd, but it seems to light up the glovebox.

In the red circle....

Thanks JMC. know I understand. I am missing the bit between the pushy in bit and the bulb holder. You are a gizza.
