SOURCE: 2000 Toyota Corolla VE -- Glove Box Stuck

The most common cause is something inside the glove box jammed in the latch. Push glove box door release , and GENTLY insert a flat putty knife, plastic knife, or similar type tool in the groove of door, GENTLY try to pry open the door. U will probably (hopefully) find a napkin, map, or glove (does anybody actually put gloves in the glove box?) jammed in the inside latch. Let me know how u make out.

The key of my Honda only locks the door and opens the trunk starts the car thats it doesnt work for anything else

Where else do you have locks? A locking glove compartment often has a separate key. The main key is supposed to open the door, open the trunk and start the vehicle. The other key is a Valet Key, the key is intended for people to give to valets to park their cars or to repair shops to use. The valet key will open the car door and start the car but will prevent someone from unlocking the glove box or the trunk.

The latch of the glove compartment broke. Can't open the compartment

If you look under glove box you will see two to four screws that hold the glove box on. Take out the screws and the glove box will drop down and you can get inside and release latch..then you can get a replacement latch and replace.

Glove compartment will not open

glove compartments usually have a key to lock them. use your spare key or your ignition key to try and unlock it. if this is not the case something must be jamming it. try to open it without forcing it. maybe something jammed it shut.

Cant open the glove compartment on 1990 cadilac seville

i know this sounds strange, but does the glove box have a lock on it? Like a keyhole of a door lock. If so, one of your keys should open it.

Broken handle to glove box in my Galant

This happened in my '01 galant as well. If you take a peek under where the handle used to be, there's a little square nook with a spring and a little plastic tab. take a key and stick it right above the tab and press down, and the glove compartment should just pop right open. If it doesn't work, then it's probably just locked. Just unlock the door and try it again.

Where is the valet switch on a 1999 honda accord?

Your Grey key is the valet key.

The Grey key will not open the glove compartment nor the trunk, BUT you have to lock the back shelf and remote trunk release handle in the car, and the glove compartment with the black key first.
