Help: Accessing the Glovebox Light

[DaBee]

I'm wondering if someone can provide a detailed summary of how to access the glovebox light on an NA2. I've searched the web/forums and found general steps, but not actual instructions. I'm not typically a DIY kinda guy, so I'm in need of more details than simply "remove the glovebox".
Many thanks.

Page 23-200 of the service manual. You may download a copy here, which is my reordered version of what is in the Prime wiki. Page 23-200 is page 1005 of the pdf.

NA1 = 3.0L 1991-1996 manual
NA1 = 3.0L 1991-2005 Auto
NA2 = 3.2 1997-2005 manual

the glove box is the same for all years 2 screws holding the lower bolster then 4 screws holding the door, then 4 screws holding the box, slide out put new bulb in

This may not even have been your intent, but just as an FYI: common mistake ppl make, thinking their glove box light is out.... it only turns on when the lights are on. Try it!

Thanks for the heads-up, but I'm just replacing all the interior lights with LEDs and this one had me a bit perplexed.

Yep - that got me a while back :tongue: At least it was an easy disassembly/reassembly operation.
