    Hello,

    Had some work done on my Cali by a Ferrari dealership. After picking it up, the glove compartment won't align properly and close. Because of this, the light inside stays on, killing the battery.

    Any thoughts on what I can do until I can take it back to Ferrari?

    Thanks!

    HI Larick,
    I have my Cali glove box removed whilst i finish a radio install (dragging on now as i decided to have everything made of carbon)
    Please look at the attached pictures.
    You will need to remove the bulb to stop the battery drain until you get it back to the dealer unless your feeling brave and handy with a tool box as the switch that you have found cannot be adjusted without the removal of the glovebox.
    See the picture with the arrow that is where the light unit needs to be prised and don't worry if you break it as they cost $3.00 to replace (seriously) i renewed mine and fitted LED bulbs whilst stripped.
    I have attached photos so you get an idea of what your looking at.

    Cheers

    The dealership has re assembled the glovebox incorrectly - take it back as the glovebox will need taking out again to rectify.

    Cheers Andrew

    i fixed mine myself. its fairly easy, there is a latch inside the compartment that actually can be unscrew and adjust it more. i adjust it more deeper by 0,5 cm inside, it is now aligned
