Title: Radio and glovebox electral interruptions
Post by: gwuisman on November 28, 2005, 16:01:42

My radio and the glovebox light don't work by time to time. Always together at the same time. So it seems the same connection for both that does not function well. Any suggestions where I have to start this winterjob?

Hello Gerard,

The glove box light is fed from a different power circuit than the radio.  Let's rule out power as the problem for the moment and concentrate on grounds.  The glove box and the clock have the same ground.  I would check the ground connections first.  You most likely need to remove the glove box to obtain access.
