How to install a Glove Box light in a 2022 Ford Explorer.

After finding out Ford started leaving out the Glove box light on the Mid year 2021 and up Ford Explorer I wanted to install a glove box light on my 2022 Ford Explorer ST. The wife had to search too many times in the dark for tissue for our daughter. So I bought the part form my local dealership and went after it. After finding out the 2022's don't even have the wiring behind the glove box but there were many people that wanted the glove box light on their Explorer I knew I had to make a video on it. Hope you enjoy the video and please share it with others that it can help.

I routed mine to the back of the cigarette lighter in front console. Which powers down when car is off and vice versa.

Fantastic video! I’m going to add this to my 22 as well. Thank you for showing us how to do it!

[@KnightsGarage]

No problem. Glad I could help!

FYI everything when your car does an OVER THE AIR UP DATE YOUR AMBIENT LIGHTING GOES TO BLACK TILL YOU READJUST, SO YOUR GLOVE BOX MAYBE BLACKED OUT WHEN THAT HAPPENS.

Good to know because I updated Sync over USB a few weeks ago but for just sent me another email saying there’s another update so I will try the OTA update later and see.

I ordered the light kit for my 22 ST.... I was peeved when I opened the glove box at night and no lights!! ugh... Thank you for this vid! Other then that, I've had my ST for 3 weeks now and absolutely love it... I have the aFe intercooler, strut brace, Mishimoto Intercooler on the install pile now. Just need to find time to head out and get it installed.

Nice man. Glad I could help. I also have videos on front bumper removal and in a cooler installation on my channel. They should help you out with those things.

Anyone tried this in a 23 ST yet? Part shows to for a 23 so I’d imagine the process would be the same.
