2004 Ranger Lighting Question
I have a 2004 Ranger "Edge." I've noticed that there is no lighting behind the headlight switch. I assume that there is supposed this is supposed to be lit and may represent a burned-out bulb. Is there supposed to a light inside the glove compartment?

It should light, have it fixed under warranty. Beware it will keep burning out, my 01 is on it's third switch.

Thanks. While I've enjoyed driving this truck, the overall quality as measured by warranty items is not the best--although to be fair, some of the problems have been dealer-related.
I bought the truck in January of this year. It was missing the antenna. In addition, the radio was never properly connected. The panel for the temperature controls was broken. The inside of the rear extended cab doors was not completely painted (both sides).

No glove box light in my 04. I plan on adding it; I would like to think that an Explorer light assembly will fit and that the wiring is there for it. Unless it was deemed too expensive to leave that strand of wire and the little plug in there too 
.
It would have been nice to also leave in the:
*cargo light
*underhood light
*map lights
*two tone rear lights, red for lights and yellow for turn lights
