GLOVE BOX LIGHT REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Special Thanks to Fred Frigo for taking the time to develop this page

The glove box light and switch is sold directly from Saab dealers as a single assembly for about $25. (Part number 4202107) In order to change the glove box light, you will need a Torx screwdriver (included with your spare tire).

First, clear everything out of your glove box. Then carefully remove the screws holding the glove box to the dash. Be careful not to prod around recklessly since there is an airbag above the glove box.

Once the screws have been removed the glove box drops down as indicated in the photo below.

The glove box light is on the left side of the glove compartment. Before removing the glove box light assembly, the electrical cable harness must be removed. Then the black plastic cover can be removed by hand as shown below. The new glove box light assembly will snap into place. It should be inserted from the inside of the glove box. The cover should be installed from outside of the glove box. Don't forget to install the cable harness. The glove box light will turn on when the glove box is opened and the key is on.
