I have replaced the switch and glovebox latch. This situation begin happening after front lights, gas latch and windows stop working. Everything is working now except for the glove box.

 

Welcome to the forum Walker06,

(I've moved your post from General Tech Help section to XJ (X350 & X358) section)

You need to give some further details. Are you unable to open the Glove Box now?

When you have a minute, please post in New Member Area - Intro a MUST with some information about yourself and your XJ. In return, you'll get useful advice on how to post in the forum sections.

My 2005 XJ has a glitch in the latch for the glove box. if opened, it doesn't want to re-latch. Repeated taps of the button eventually brings a different sound in the latch and it will latch when closed. I changed the lock mechanism with one from a 2004 in wrecking yard. That piece has a slightly different single motor design, but the result is the same. I've tried lubricating the mechanism but it seems there may need to be an electric pulse (possibly reverse polarity) to trigger the close position. Could the Valet programming be off somehow? Any ideas anyone?
