Had similar problem with my 97 900SETC. The commom problem is the lack of metal to metal contact being via the white plastic "cam" when the glove box door is opened (parking or headlights must be on) rather than a burnt out bulb. I used my thumbnails and fingernails to pry out the switch and disconnected it, then closely examined its construction (assembly) and workings for about 15 minutes. All looked OK to my eye, so I reconnected it but left it loose inside the glove compartment, turned on the parking lights, and pressed down with a little pressure on the bulb -- it lit up! So, I disconnected the light switch again, and this time applied a little pressure to bend the metal arm that moves behind the plastic cam so that it makes better (more forceful) metal contact. It has worked OK ever since. Good luck. Richard E
