Hello,

Does your vehicle's Glove Box Lamp illuminate? I have included a wiring diagram of your vehicle's interior lighting system in the diagrams down below for reference. Please get back to us with what the Glove Box Lamp is doing and we will go from there.

Thanks,
Alex

Lets use a test light to see if power is making it to the socket.
