American Autowire and glove box light
Question for those that have used the American Autowire kit, I’m not finding a spot for the wire. The manual says it’s a 12v battery fused for glove box, but even the lights I’m finding online don’t look like they use this connector.

Re: American Autowire and glove box light
Is the glove box circuit a separate option?..when I pulled it up it shows a light and switch for about 20bucks..
I've not seen a connector like that before

Re: American Autowire and glove box light
That terminal should fit right inside the glovebox light socket / switch assembly. Goes right up alongside the bulb and one of the little "pins" on the base of the bulb hooks into the notch in the center of that terminal.

I bought a new C-10 in 1964 and the glovebox light came on anytime the door was opened. I've never owned a car that worked any other way. |

Re: American Autowire and glove box light
That connector on the american autowire kit will fit into the kits accessory circuit that has several connectors both ignition powered and direct to battery powered. That is what I used.
