Powered glovebox

[bredhurststeve]

have searches on here and elsewhere but cannot find the answer as to which fuss is used for the glovebox as mine has suddenly stopped working. The silver stickers on the fuse box covers do not list the fuse
I want to check the fuse first as there is no click from the switch, also where is the motor situated?
I presume it is a take the glovebox out job.

Searched my handbook and cannot find any fuse responsible for the powered glovebox.

Might as well pull it out, find and diagnose the motor if no sound of it's working noise is there.
With multimeter check the voltage on the motor and take it from there.

Here's a tutorial of how to remove the globe box but you still need an access to it.



There are few screws needed to be removed in order to take the whole unit out.
Be careful with all CD/DVD drives.

Quick update, went out to start stripping the glove box down and the damm thing is working ok which one one hand is a good thing but I do not know what the problem was, will have to wait and see what happens

Could've been short power loss or loose connector.
It would be an good idea to investigate it further.
