Default Trunk light??

Need help.

My trunk light is out.....I already changed the 194 wedge bulb....still dead.

Is there a sensor that tells the bulb to turn on when the trunk lid is opened? If so, where is this sensor located?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I think the sensor for the trunk light is in the latch mechanism. Take a spritz of WD40 to it and be sure it is moving freely.

Also, double check the bulb you replaced is installed correctly.

Other than that, I'd double check that the bulb you need is actually a 194. I can't even picture where the light is right now.
