    I'm finally getting my 74 grabber back together after 5 1/2 years. I'm impatient and a couple of things are bugging me. I can't seem to figure out how the glove box light works. I have 2 wires, one accepts the glove box light switch, the other has a male end which I think is the ground. First, does this switch also double as the light? it looks like there is a socket on the back but I can't figure out how it would get grounded to work. Also, it doesn't seem to be able to accept any bulb I've ever seen. I'd appreciate any help, photos, etc. I'm making a second post on my bucket seats and the required hardware....just want to get this finished!

    You are missing the ground wire on the switch/light.
    A bulb goes in the end so yes, the switch doubles as a light. $_3-4.jpg

    Hmm, I wonder if I'm actually dealing with with completely broken switch. Any thoughts on where I can get a new ine?
