The automatic locking feature for my glove box hasn't worked since I got the car last year. Not a big deal since I could lock it with the key, but it wouldn't automatically lock when you lock the car with the FOB and with the top down. And hey - it's supposed to work
So after searching the forums, I decided to take the lock apart. Most folks said you were going to find broken wires. And they were right. Here's my locking mechanism opened up showing the broken wire. The one remaining wire that was attached also broke while I was soldering the broken one back on, so resoldered that too. End result - just got it all back together and - it works
Interesting that the label on the back appears to have what could be a date code of 27.11.2006. But my 2005 was built on 11/30/04.........
