Trunk light not working

My trunk light isn't working. I changed the bulb. I can't find a blown fuse. Interior lights work. Any thoughts?

No to many miles. Bought it right when the 2016's came out.

Re: Trunk light not working

Is the light missing 12v positive?
Or....Is it missing negative?


ground for trunk light is controlled by a switch inside the latch

Re: Trunk light not working

I checked for voltage in the socket. I didn't think to try using a separate ground.
The ground is controlled by the latch ? That's weird. So is the latch the close switch ?

No, you need to figure out exactly what is wrong.
