Glove Box: Removal
WARNING:
ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS, DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE, THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
- Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
- Release the glove box latch and open the glove box door.
- While supporting the glove box door with one hand, grasp the check strap as close to the glove box door as possible and slide the rolled end of the check strap out of the slot in the edge of the door (Fig 1 ).
- Lower the glove box door far enough to disengage the hinge hook formations on the lower edge of the door from the hinge pins on the lower edge of the instrument panel.
- Remove the glove box from the instrument panel.
