My glove box light will work for approx 2secs once opening but when fully opening it wil not work where is the switch location and does amyone else seen this I have adjustes it so both catchs latch but it did this before I adjusted it

Any help would be great

Many thanks

the switch is part of the light assembly in the top of the glovebox houosing - sounds like the contacts for thh switch are dirty/corroded.

If you remove it and clean it up it should be fine.
To get it out you need a small stubby flat blade screwdriver, prise the bulb holder/switch assembly out of the surround, disconnect the wiring plug and give it a good clean - refitting is a reversal of removal

Thanks I'll try that if you have it open a inch light will be on once dropped open it will not light guess I'll be playing with it on saturday

I love that phrase...!!

One - Because it cuts down on the amount you have to type....
and
Two - because it bloody isn't - often times I didn't have to use a hammer/large persuader/lever/breaker bar/length of handy scaffold pole/rust remover/penetrating oil/loose a few knuckles/sweat blood and tears/swear/get fed up/argue/give up when I put it all together again like I did when I took it apart....

I think I see your problem - when removing my glovebox light I found that using a hammer/large persuader/lever/breaker bar/length of handy scaffold pole was a bit over the top as you have to be careful that the end of the bar doesn't scratch the headliner
