everyone i just got g35coupe, 06 model. the light in the glovebox is always on even after i close it, i can see the light through the crack, anyone else have this problem? is there a TSB on this? thanks !

 

whoa.....i have the same problem

 

im being serious. anyone can help?

 

Yes, the dealer.

 

I have read this before. Apparently a lot of people have this problem.

 

I have this problem too! I thought it was normal?!

 

I think it is "normal." If you do a search...EVERYONE has this problem. I believe someone previously put some kind of tape or cover to "hide" the crack when the glove box is closed. Quick and dirty fix I guess.

 

It is not a "problem". The car was made that way. The light is always on. Every G35 out there has the light on in the glove box.

 

ya i just leased an 06 coupe last week and i noticed the light thru the crack...i thought it was normal...i'm going to see the dealer this saturday again to drop off an extra set of car keys from my trade in...i'll ask him about it and repost then....

 

I believe a lot of G's from 03-06' have this problem. I looked around the glove box and never found a pressure switch or anything. I'm assuming it was meant to be this way.

 

Yeap, mine has the same problem (or maybe it's not a problem) too. When the headlights are on, the glovebox light is on. As simple as that.

 

I don't think its a problem...the lights there come on when the headlights are on. Turn daytime running lights off and use the regular lights.

 

SOLUTION:

It IS normal. Buy some self-adhering foam weather stripping tape that you'd use on your storm door at home. Choose a density that you believe will be sufficient to better seal the opening and cut to size (there are dozens of thicknesses).

I had to do this for my glove box because my seat is all the way back and the light peeks from inside just enough to annoy me. A 0.50"x0.50" foam piece the length of the width of the glovebox solved the problem in 30 seconds. Peel of the backing and stick it in place...and it looks factory, and its graphite colored too so it seamlessly blends in

Where's the ingenuity in this forum?! Hit Home Depot or Lowe's and fix it!

 

I have the same problem, i think im just gonna take the bulb out, thats prob. the best fix.

 

Perfect solution if you never want to be able to see anything in the dark. Whatever floats your boat I guess.
