Question About Glovebox Light

[yunuy]

HI All,

 

I was driving last night and found out there are lights coming from the sims of the glovebox. To my knowledge, the light will only be on when the glove box is opened. I have tried and found out following:

 

-Empty the glove box, light still on.

 

-Turned off the headlight, and light in glove box will be off.

-Turned the headlight to auto, light in glove box only on when the outside is dark and headlight is on.

-Turned the headlight to on, light in glove box will be on.

 

-opened the door, and open the glove box, light is off.

 

So basically, light will be always and only on when the headlight is on.

 

Should there be a spring like switch somewhere on the glovebox door panel like the one the for car door that trigger the interior light when door is open?

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks
