Trunk Light

The trunk light doesn't work and the bulb is good. Is there a mercury switch somewhere? I pulled the cover off the inside of the trunk lid and all those wires looked ok. Those, I am guessing might be for the trunk release.

have you tried a replacement bulb just in case? bulb might look god but may be burned out.

i would check your switch next. where is it i have no idea but i would think its built into the trunk lid. i say this because i recently did work to my trunk and removed the latch. when i closed me trunk all the way down and put things on top to keep it down the light would still be on. so inside somewhere is my best guess

Check the wire on point where is trunk lid wrist (crank, joint). probably on that point wire is broken but you couldn't see it.
