Glove Box Light Not Working.

Lord Ripper · May 4, 2006

Hi guys.

I tried a replacement white LED for my glovebox but it wasnt bright enough so I went back to the bulb. It then stopped working altogether, neither the original bulb (286 5mm wedge type) nor the same type LED. I tried switching them around in case the polarity was wrong but no joy either way. I can't find the fuse in either of the footwell fuse boxes. So is it the actual switch unit that has gone on me or what ? Any ideas ?

Also I wanted to see what type of bulb was used in the rear fog switch/washer jets/headlamp adjust switches with regard to making them blue. I see they are minute twist-type, dunno what else to call them but really tiny - half the size of the glovebox light, but when I replaced the switches one of the tiny things in the rear fog switch no longer worked. Again, can I get these things to buy or am I gonna have to get a whole new switch. This is really niggling me now - probably some weird punishment for being nosey lol.

Suggestions please.....

Thanks :)
