Glove box

When you open the glove box is the light suppose to come on or only when the lights are on. Thanks Shanezoid.

It is supposed to come on, IIRC. The bulb is an odd one though and usually burned out. The switch may also be broken as it was poorly made with a little plastic tab that wears out shortly after the car is out of warranty. I have one that works somewhere, but I haven't had it hooked up in a long time. There is also another odd little light for the ash tray that uses a similar odd bulb.

Mine works fine if the lights are on and my ashtray is in the console behind the gear shifter and I am pretty sure there is no light in it. Thanks Shanezoid.
