lol alright i bought my mustang a year ago 89 lx an i still dont know how the map light works lol cuz ill be goin down the road an all of a sudden that light will turn on whats wrong wit that picture???

[EagleAutosports]

You mean the telescoping light that swings down? It's usually the small push button that has issues, it may have a bad contact inside it.

[badasslx13]

yea that light it just seems to come on an off when it wants to..small push button???

[EagleAutosports]

When you push the light up and latch it, there's a small push button that closes. Let the light swing down, and you should see it, it's right where the light goes. Need a picture?

[badasslx13]

no i know what ur sayin yea its that what clicks it into place?

[EagleAutosports]

You have the latch that holds it, the button will be right under the light when it's closed up and latched.

[badasslx13]

oh....i dont think i got 1

[EagleAutosports]

It should look like this one. Wonder why you wouldn't have one...

[87Mustang]

yea badasslx13 i have the same set up as you i dont have a button or a latch. I dont know how mine works either and i dont have a bulb for it. What kind is it or does it matter? Im not trying to steal your thread. srry

[badasslx13]

ok yea my buttons like broken off i guess cuz its like real real short but lol the bulb works cuz it comes on every now an then

[EagleAutosports]

Might need to disassemble it to replace the button, although I'm not sure where you'd get that tiny button. Maybe check salvage yards for the whole assembly?

[badasslx13]

yea mines like broke off i guess its like flush with the plastic base lol
