I’m relieved to hear that you used to be an electrician because working on the electrical system of a car can be difficult. Thankfully, taking out the glove box on a Toyota Camry is simple and shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.
The Toyota Camry’s glove box can be removed by:
- Open the hood while the ignition is locked or off.
- Wait at least two minutes before disconnecting the negative battery terminal. By doing this, you can prevent the passenger airbag from deploying when you remove the glove box.
- On the external base of the glove box, unbolt the mounting screws. Each lower corner should have two bolts.
- Six interior mounting bolts that keep the glove box attached to the dashboard must be taken out by opening the glove box and doing so.
- Carefully remove the glove box, being cautious not to forcibly separate the wire harness.
- With a flathead screwdriver, pry open each of the clips holding the wiring harness to the back of the glove box.

How is a glove box hinge fixed?
Your Ford Explorer’s glove box hinge can be easily repaired in just four simple steps.
- Get a new replacement hinge first from an auto parts shop. Maybe a screwdriver would be the only tool needed.
- The broken hinge on the glove box door has to be taken out next. Simply pry out the old portion by squeezing the screws holding it in place with a screwdriver.
- Take the new hinge and insert it after removing the old one.
- Finally, slowly close the glove box door to make sure the hinge is in the right place. The door might need to be moved around a bit before it fully engages with the hinge.
What serves as a damper in a glove box?
A glove box damper mechanism is described that slows the glove box lid’s descent during opening by rotating a cam against a spring. The glove box damper device is simple to install, less expensive than many earlier damper devices, and less likely to break. To comply with car safety regulations, the glove box damper can be used with glove box lids that include a sheet metal insert.
