How do you get the glove box light to work. 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.

There are two seperate terminals sticking out of the switch lampholder assembly, one for each wire.
If your's doesn't, then it's bust.
Early cars are on fuse 21, later ones on fuse 4.
The switch/lampholder has a habit of short circuiting if it doesn't have a lamp in it.

Thanks but I am still confused. I have got two bulb holders and they are both the same. There is only one obvious conector so where should the second one be?
