Upper glovebox light defective?

[RamRebelSteel]

I've been meaning to post this but I kept on forgetting. Does anyone else have this issue. I'm not sure if the light is supposed to stay on or if the glove box lid is defective and crooked, allowing it to leak light through the bottom. I have the 19 rebel. I'm not sure if it's worth taking to the dealer or finding a way to seal the light myself lol

Okay. This thing never turns off lol only untill a few minutes after the truck is turned off and you haven't touch any buttons/doors lol.

I've been wondering the same thing......there is a fairly wide lighted gap at that upper glove-box door. I was thinking maybe by design (as a part of the lower courtesey illumination) , but maybe not.

I'm thinking the sensor is bad because why would u always want to have a light on? Unless ram dropped the ball on it and forgot to add a sensor or something lol

My Laramie has the same problem. There is a switch under the top glovebox cover that turns the light on and off when opening and closing. The switch becomes misaligned and the light stays on . If you slam the glovebox shut pushing on the center lip then it may turn off; but it only takes a good bump to turn it back on. This is a case of a defective switch. Mine will be going in for this to be repaired under warranty along with a long list of other problems. I love the truck but the quality is horrible.

I am glad to hear that it is covered by our warranty.
