[QUOTE="Brodie, post: 1255673, member: 3372"] Cliff Don't break that glove box door open. It can be opened by removing the black inner faring panel granting "easy" access to the solenoid assembly. There is a small lever that is pushed up by the spring loaded solenoid plunger. When its triggered by turning on the ignition, the solenoid plunger retracts allowing the lever to drop. Thats how the glove box latch unlocks with the ignition switch. Remove the inner faring panel, reach around from underneath to the backside of the assembly up near the top, find the lever and deflect it downward. Skinny fingers help a lot. While deflected, push the glove box push button and it will open. If you let go of the lever before opening it, the lever will be pushed back up by the solenoid plunger, thereby locking the latch again. If you can't quite identify it by feeling around under there, get a small mirror on a stick and a flashlight. Once you see it, it should become clear. Good luck, and don't force it. Brodie 😉 [/QUOTE]
