How does the trunk light go on?

[Al J]

I see a bulb there, but for the life of me, I can't see an off/on switch or a plunger switch that puts it on automatically when the trunk opens.
It's a 'vert. Any ideas?

Mine does not come on till the trunk is all the way open, so I dont think it is a mercury switch, but rather a pin switch. I have no clue where it is though. Good luck and bump.

I always wondered how the hood light turns on.

The tilt switch is part of the bulb holder. If you remove it from the trunk, you can tilt it and see.

humm not sure if my trunk light ever worked guess i'll have to look into tha someday. Man a hood light would be nice at times lol

Rick, great info.

MM, why dont you have a hood light? Or do we not want to know what happened to it. J/K.

So there is no on-off switch, just a "tilt" switch which is apparently inoperative in my car.
Zat it?

i guess wen thay put the first aftermarket hood on they removed all that cause i've never had one

We're talking 'vert trunk (at least I am)---not hood--which, while we're at it, has an automatic plunger off/on switch.

 

[MysteryMachine]

we've been talking about both lol

Ditto. It's the same as the light under the hood. Check your bulb too. Peace
