I have a 2002 ls430 and I noticed today that the lights inside of the trunk are not coming on. The one on the trunk and the one under the rear deck do not turn on when the trunk is opened. I switched out the bulbs on both of them with bulbs that work and they still won't turn on. Does anyone know what else could be wrong?

Perhaps this thread (two posts from it below) may be of help: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...on-t-work.html
Quote:
The fuse box in the trunk is located on the left side under the carpet. For license plate lights, look for a 7.5A fuse called "LCE LP". For the 2 trunk lights, look for a 7.5A fuse called "RR ECU-B".

Quote: I went to the fuse box & was confused by some of the abbreviations. I took a picture for later reference. Thanks to rkw77080 for clearing it up.

Thanks to Lexus for engineering two 5w bulbs to their own fuse.

This is the exact same thing that's wrong with my car.
