Trunk courtesy light

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

My car did not come with a trunk courtesy light and I found one online and it only has one male plug to connect and I see one female empty plug in the driver side wheelwell but it did not come with any switch to let it know the trunk is opened. I can't get it to come on and am wondering if I am missing something.

 

Thanks!

The trunk light has a mercury switch incorporated into it. It should switch on when the lid is raised. The one wire is the hot (12V) line, the ground is provided by the mounting hardware. Make sure you've got it mounted correctly (right side up?) and you've got good ground. Might stick a voltmeter in the socket and see if you get 12V when the trunk is open.
