Glovebox

Tripod137 · 09-11-2006, 12:18 PM

I think I saw a post a while back, possibly, about the light in the glovebox remaining on after the door is closed. Does anyone remember that post? Is the light supposed to stay on after the glovebox door is closed? Is there a fix?

It is supposed to stay on, there's no fix, it's LED and uses just a tiny amount of energy. Eliminated is the problems with mechanical switches that so often fail on the doors.

Wow... this reminds of when I was 5 years old and I wanted to know if the refrigerator light stayed on when you closed the door. :P

Light? what light? I never saw a light in my 06, door open or closed. I'll have to look again.
