63 Glove box light

[Greg W.]

I found some older post on this topic but never an answer.

I found the orange wire that Bubba cut many years ago and it is hot. I purchased a new light and housing from CA. When I touch the one and only wire coming from the housing to the orange always hot wire the light does not come on. I know there was some talk about grounding.

I have not installed it in the frame yet, but my glove box does not attach to the frame, early design before support.

Any help.

On my early 63 there is a ground wire attached to the brace to the left of the trim tag that then attaches to the hinge on the bottom left of the glove box. I believe this to be correct.
