If you open the rear trunk the front trunk light is supposed to go on even if the front trunk has not been opened.

But do the test to see if it is the front switch. You can also close the latch with a screwdriver, then open the latch with the door sill lever, a bunch of times, and see if that brings the switch back to life. That is what I do when we work on a car and I notice the switch is not working all the time.

If it is the switch then most people replace it. It is expensive. I have not tried to clean the contacts, so I do not know if this can be done. Dealer with try to sell you the latch as the switch is included when you buy the latch. But you can buy just the switch.

Pictures and instructions are on Renntech.

See boggtown. My 8 years of Boxstir education may not have gone down the drain after all....
