Glove box lights.

Doing a bit of nit picking here!
Where is the microswitch that turns the glove box light on?
Do the side/main lights have to be on for the GB light to illuminate when it is opened or is it when the ingnition is on?
Thanks

Simon.
The switch is on the left side of the glovebox and yes the lights need to be on for it to illuminate. The switch can get damaged but a more common issue is the bulb gets burnt out due to the operating finger for the switch being broken ( the finger breaks the contacts to turn off the light ). Fortunately Paul can print you a 3d replacement operating finger for the switch.
 
Here is a picture of Paul's replacement finger with the switch in the open position. When the glovebox is opened the finger rotates upwards on the hinge and the contacts spring together.
