Is this normal or is there a switch which should turn off the light when it's closed? |

I looked and did not notice a switch in the glove box (bottom) so I guess the light remains on when the headlights are turned on? Bruce |

But didnt think it should be off when closed. I would have expected some form of micro switch. I will take a look when I get time. Have you ever removed your glovebox, to change a filter ofr do a mod? Maybe (if there is a switch) its been disturbed???? |

The weird thing is they seem to have replaced my dash light, I think on the Fuel gauge tsb - before it was a regular white or yellowish colored light. Now it's an orange led. -m. |
