FL2 glovebox

How do you remove the glovebox on a Freelander 2? I blew a fuse earlier fitting led bulbs to interior lights and cannot work out how to remove the glovebox.

Why is there a fuse box behind it?

Push the arms in/out it will dropdown.

Yes, according to google, the fusebox is behind it.

So push the arms it will let you in.

What arms?

I have no idea about the FL BTW, but sounds like you need to get a manual.

Are there bits at the side when you open the glove box?

Just done a quick search and apparently you need to look through an access hatch in the glove box to see it Or shove a small child in there with small hands.

Ok, goes from bad to worse. Wiggled the glovebox out, broke a plastic clip which it attaches to the inner dashboard and after all that-no fusebox.

Problem for me, is im recovering from a stroke and my hands do not do what i want them to. Just fed up with all this.

Just noticed this.

Do you actually have a FL2? what year?

Calm down have a break, hoping the proper FL guys will come to help @Nodge ?

Yes, a 2012 Freelander 2

So I blew a fuse doing mine recently, you may not need to remove the glovebox.

Get down into the passenger footwell, there's a cover at the back under there. You should be able to push two tabs in and rotate the panel out, unveiling some of the fusebox and the fusebox diagram on the back

If not we'll come back and do glovebox destructions

After a more thorough read

Oh bugger it's off already

Well supposedly you're looking for a 7.5A fuse in F17 but it still ought to be under there somewhere

The fuse box is below the glove box. No need to remove the glove box at all, as you just put your head where passenger feat go.

Be careful with LEDs, as they have been known to cause issues with the MOSFETs in the CJB, which means a replacement job at huge expense.

Here you go as above, tis a FL2 MY14

glove box can be removed with care.

Lower it and pull down on the clip at the back of the box centre above.

Also press in the gas strut so it pops out.

You will see where it clips in either side of the box.
