Can someone help me out here. I am almost certain there is supposed to be a light for the console glovebox (for an 85+ Firebird) but I can't figure out how it is supposed to work. I see a small white plastic piece inside where the light would shine through and I have found an extra socket down in the console. Two problems though:

-can't figure out how the darn thing would mount; and
-can't figure out how it would switch on and off (my meter reads 12V all the time).

Any help would be appreciated.

 

There should be a switch that goes at the end of the console shift plate. It's a push button switch that the console lid pushes down when it's shut. I think you need to lift up the end of the shift plate and see what's there. Sounds like your missing parts.

 

you wouldn't happen to have any pics to show the switch and how it mounts would you??
