Glove box light

I get a Globe out signal when I turn on the lights. The only one I can see thats not working is in the top of the glove box. I cant see how to remove it without damage.

Any one help on light or signal on dash?

Cheers cobbers

Ive checked every globe I can see. Pulled them all out, checked bases etc.
Licence plates , fogs, etc.

Still warning light. Only one left to check is glove box (even though it prob is not connected to warning circuit) but I cant pull light out!

Any other clues re warning light anyone?

Did you check the reverse lights

When does the globe warning come on...as soon as you turn the lights on...the first time you put on the brakes...or maybe when you put it in reverse?

Sounds like a possible earth fault, we'll need to know when the warning comes on...

It came on as soon as sidelights were turned on.

Fixed under warranty. Suposedly a high(er) resistance in a connector somewhere. Didnt tell me where.

Thanks Bazzle

Sounds right!

Atleast it's fixed, & under warranty makes it a little sweeter...
