Simple problem, yet dumbfounded I haven't found the answer.

Post by Naude716 »

:withstupid: I have a 98 cargo astro.. Took out my glove box to do some speaker and lighting wiring a week ago, disconnected the 2 connections from the glove box successfully. Upon putting it back in I noticed that the one connection(the smaller one with 2 prongs, not the cube looking one) does not fit into any wires coming from the van, the other connection that it looks like it would connect to is a female clear white connection.. however they're both females, and i'm dumbfounded that I haven't found a connection to hook it to. Either the other connection changed genders or I lost something I'm thinkin. Yeah, pretty frustrated at that one.. ](*,)

Ah! it's just an accessory light wire? That would explain the random light bulb thats sitting behind there.. I'll just assume I don't need it? Thought it may have something to do with my 12v sockets/cig lighter..
