Always-on upper glove box light?

[Handmeawrench]

Hi there,

My wife noticed on a road trip over Christmas that the light in the upper glove box is always on. Doesn’t matter if the lid is open, etc. it’s always on.

2019 Ram 1500 Laramie.

Is this a common issue? I drive often enough to not worry about battery drain, but that light needs to turn off at some point.

Tips and advice appreciated.

I believe 19 Laramie 1500 had ambient lighting. Are you sure that's not what she's seeing?

Glove box light

So I'm having the issue where my upper glove box light stays on all the time (2020 1500 Laramie.) I was due for an oil change so while I was at the dealership, I had them check it out. Is it normal for them to just order a whole new glove box? The part number is 5ye141x9-ah.

Top Glove Box Light Stays On

I just picked up my 19 ram Laramie today around noon, now that it is dark I noticed the top glove box LED is on and it won't shut off, I can see it through the 1/4" gap on the bottom. Super annoying. Am I missing something here, or has anyone else had this happen?

I had this issue on my 2019. The door wasn’t closing properly/ completely. It was staying open about an 1/8th inch, just enough so the light sensor thought it was still open. Dealer adjusted the door, problem solved.

Pop open the right side of the dash. There’s a pressure switch that lets the light know that the door on the glow box is closed. Sometimes they pop off

In case it hasn’t been mentioned, that light is also controlled by the dial on left under steering wheel. Scroll that and that light should get brighter or dimmer along with the other ambient lighting points.
