Remove the three Philips screws along the top and the two on the bottom

corners and remove the entire glove box. You can then work on the latch

from the back of the latch and easily open the glove compartment by

gently prying off the corners of the glove box from the locking pins.

Broken Glove Box Lock in 1997 Grand am How do you replace the lock in a broken glove box Mine is broken. The lock and latch falls out when you unlock it. Do I have to replace the entire glove box?

Normally, a locking cylinder is held in by a clip on the back side. You pass the cylinder through the hole in the glovebox and then inside the glovebox you slide a clip over the cylinder to hold it tight to the inside of the glove compartment door. Maybe you just need to the clip. It may have broke. You shouldn't need a whole glovebox door and all unless the part on the glovebox door is broken where the clip attaches to it. Then you may need just the door.

How do I remove the glove compartment box to access radio fuse?

To remove the glove compartment box in order to access the radio fuse, you will typically need to follow these steps: Open the glove compartment by pulling the handle or latch located on the front of the compartment. Look for any screws or fasteners that are holding the glove compartment box in place. These may be located on the inside of the compartment, on the sides, or on the back. If you see any screws or fasteners, use a screwdriver or other appropriate tool to remove them. Once all of the screws or fasteners have been removed, gently pull the glove compartment box out of the compartment. It may be held in place by clips or other fasteners, so you may need to gently wiggle it to loosen it. Once the glove compartment box is out of the compartment, you should be able to see the radio fuse and any other electrical components that may be located behind it. It's important to be careful when removing the glove compartment box and to make sure that you are using the appropriate tools for the job. If you are not comfortable with this task, or if you are unsure about how to proceed, it may be best to seek the assistance of a professional mechanic or technician.
