Got to wondering why it wasnt hooked up and thought I out to check the switch just in case the PO had disconnected it for running down the battery or something.

The light in the trunk in my car hasn't worked since I got it - decided to change the bulb today.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The light in the trunk in my car hasn't worked since I got it - decided to change the bulb today. Pulled it out and the light wasn't connected to the wiring. Hooked it up and the light came right on. Got to wondering why it wasnt hooked up and thought I out to check the switch just in case the PO had disconnected it for running down the battery or something. Can't find the switch that would turn it off when the trunk lid is closed. Any help on where it is located? Thanks! Ted

POST 2Original post

You must have one of the magic bulbs. Each time I open my fridge the light is on also.

POST 3Original post

The light turns itself off after a delay of a few seconds. I put a video camera in the trunk to determine that it actually turns off.

POST 4Original post

Lock the latch with your finger. There is a microswitch in the latch. Same as the engine cover, red arrow in the pic. The frunk has more covers so it is harder to see. Don't forget to open it again before you try to close the frunk.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you!

POST 6Original post

Thats very good info thanks. Especially the video camera lol.

POST 7Original post

If you leave the trunk open that light WILL go out, but it takes an hour!

That the light eventually went out wasn't much of a surprise as the wild party the trunk monkeys started after he closed the lid!! http://www.metacafe.com/watch/82437/all_the_trunk_monkeys/
