Glove Box Replacement Modification
On the above model vehicles, when replacing the glove box with the below part numbers, or its successor, the vehicle harness connector will not match the connector on the glove box. This is due to a change in locking design in the glove box. To resolve, the 3-pin connector of the vehicle harness must be converted to a 2-pin connector as per the instructions below.
New design glove boxes:
A 171 680 5387 + color code
A 171 680 4987 + color code
Connector conversion instructions:
1. Remove pin one (Figure 1, A) from existing connector (Figure 1, J) in body harness and insert into pin two (Figure 1, E) of new connector (Figure 1, G).
2. Remove pin three (Figure 1, C) from existing connector (Figure 1, J) in body harness and insert into pin one (Figure 1, D) of new connector (Figure 1, G).
3. Remove pin two (Figure 1, B) from existing connector (Figure 1, J) in body harness and wrap pin with electrical tape and secure to body harness.
