OK guys I am new here, but a week ago I bought a 2012 Ram 1500 Express 4X4 and the first thing I wanted to do was utilize the upper glove box and the Uconnect USB plug for my ipod. Here is my how-to:
First the parts:
4565022: Switch – glove box
1NM00BD3AA – Door – glove box
68050731AA – striker – glove box
1SF291DVAC – glove box
And some tools you’ll need:
Screwdriver (with some small screws)
7mm socket and driver
Trim Removal Tool (highly recommended to not scratch your dash)
The Beginning
Step One: Remove lower glove box by opening and pushing in on sides.
Step Two: Unscrew upper glove box screw:
Step Three: Use trim removal tool to take out upper box
Step four: Line up upper box door and screw in place. This will take some time. I recommend taking a good look at how it lines up and take your time in order to not break anything.
Step Five: Install light and latch
Step Six: Find UConnect and light plugs in the dash and hook them up. I highly recommend hooking up the light first then the USB.
Step Seven: Put lower box in place and screw in place.
Step Eight: Step back and enjoy the professional job you just did.
That is about all I've got you for guys. Maybe I just wasted an hour posting this and someone has done it before but I couldn't find it. Anyway love my Ram and this website rocks so I figured I'd give a little something back.
