Trunk Light Does not Work
 
I noticed my trunk light was not working. I checked the bulb and the fuse and they are ok. I checked for voltage at the bulb base with none found.


I read that the switch for the light in in the rear trunk latch. I removed the trunk latch and found a two wire connector (with brown wires) laying loose in the area. It appears to the be the same wire on the lamp holder.


I am unable to find where this connector plugs into. There was no area on the latch mechanism for this wire to plug into.


Does anyone have a picture showing where the connector is located or can tell me where to look?

After testing, I verified the wire between the trunk release and the light was broken. I removed the flex connector between the trunk lid and the body. I found the brown with yellow stripe wire which provides the ground for the light was broken. Soldered in a splice and all is working again.
