Glovebox Light

Hi guys,

I've removed the old halogen bulb from the glovebox light however, the cable does not appear to be long enough to re-attach to the bulb holder. Any ideas? Do I have to remove the glovebox?

Cheers

Jason

I would try using a pick tool or wire coat hanger to fish out the connector end that's inside the interior glove box area. There should be enough slack to pull it close to the opening and reconnect.

If that doesnt work, maybe you can gain access by taking off the fuse box cover in the back panel.

Indeed the cable is very short, but it has a little spare, just enough to insert it back to the light. Try pulling gently. There is no need to dismount anything.
