Title: OK, I give in! where's &nb
Post by mr._floppy on Dec 15^th, 2005, 5:07pm

Having spent a length of time longer than I care to say looking for the whereabouts of the blown glove compartment bulb. I have reached the end of my patience, and have to admit defeat, I canny find it }{

Where is it? and don't say in the glove box or Mr. Slapped Legs will be paying a visit :(

Well it is in the glovebox but it is difficult to find at first.

Its actually incorporated into the latch itself. You need to have a good old finger around in there to feel it. :o

if it helps,when mine blows i "prise" the actual switch out with a thin flat bladed screwdriver,this then makes the changing of the bulb much easier.. ;)

As Craig says the bulb is an integral part of the switch. If you gently prise the 'push switch' out the bulb is easily removable. !2v 4w as derekne says on the 'problem' page.

All done ;D, only a two minute job when you know what to do, if only every Scorp job was as easy and cheap.

I thank you all from the heart of my bottom :-*
