Mystery Light Question

[Jimjific 23]

Hello All,

 

I've almost got the Mustang all buttoned up after doing a bunch of fixes/upgrades to the interior for the last couple of months. It always takes longer than planned does it not? Well I at least can drive it now. The onlt thing left is re-cover the back seat, install the console and figure out some wiring by the glove box.

 

While I had the lower dash apart I came across this light with pig tail and I can't figure out where it goes.

 

 

I figure it is either a light for the glove box or the ash tray. My car originally didn't come with a console. The wire looks to be blue with a red stripe. I couldn't find any ash tray light on the schematics and it if it is the glove box light, it doesn't make sense since the switch, which I have, goes to ground when the glove box door is opened and what is the pig tail for?

 

So, does anyone know what it is?

 

Thanks,

Jim

I have that same light that connects in my console ashtray, I do not have a standard ashtray but I would imagine it would be the same. My Glove box light is different than that one.

Thanks for the reply. I had a feeling it was an ashtray light. Does anyone know where you can get a glove box light?

I got one off of ebay for about $15 including switch. They pop up everyone once and awile

Just checked e-bay. One guy has it for $40 and another for $60 plus $13 shipping, ouch! I think I will just keep a flashlight in the glove box.

I would just set up a watch list and have it notify if one is posted. If you are in no hurry one will pop up cheap that is what I did.
