    Thanks CountryCurt0, however, I don't think there is anything jammed in the inside latch. It feels like the glove-box door latch may be broken (i hope not). but will try it out.



    thanks.

    I had the same problem. I had to remove the entire glove box assembly in order to get the door open. After I opened the door, and removed the latch, I found that the latch was no good. I am currently looking for used one, since I would have to pay for a complete glove box assembly and that is expensive.

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.

    Hey, amoosa, if u try it and it doesn't work, let me know! Good Luck! Curt

    It is 2020 and I am laughing at Curt's 2008 glove comment. But DAM, my ToyRAV4 glove box is still jammed and yeah I bet it is a tiny aspirin bottle or chapstick or the like. Gloves??? Heck no. RAv4 has a heated steering wheel!!!!

How to unlock a stuck steering lock on Toyota verso, (use box key)everything on vehicle was tested.

Hi, I seem to have the same problem with my Corolla verso 2004. The steering lock doesn't disengage and the car won't start even though the immobiliser light stops flashing. Have you managed to get it sorted?
Thanks

***** Update**** In the end I did manage to get my problem fixed. It had nothing to do with the key. The problem was a faulty connection in the immobiliser motor that sits on the steering column, It wouldn't disengage. Our mechanic checked and repaired the motor and now the car works fine. It's a very rare fault apparently.

My 2000 olds bravada glove box door is stuck open the latch won't let me close it. Even though there is no way to lock it it seems locked! Do I need new latch or can I fix this one?

Your latch might be in the closed position before you even close the door, try using a small screwdriver on the latch while pressing the release button, if it's stuck closed then this will open it to the right position so it will lock closed when you close the door. If this does not work, sometimes the problem is in the striker (the little tab that the lock hits when the door is closed, this usually has 2 small screws holding it in place, you should be able to loosen both screws & adjust the striker forward or backward so the latch will make better contact with it.
