Front Trunk Light- What's going on ?

[chaudanova]

interested in this topic as well. Mine used to work fine, and now seems to be taking a break...

For those whose front trunk light is not working, I would like to know whether you get a 12 volt reading when the red and yellow wires are attached to a multimeter. The red is + and yellow is -; disconnect the light light unit from the plug to do the test. I get 12v

Guys you are reading a phantom voltage, probably due to a bad ground somewhere.

You need voltage and current to light a bulb.

Check the switch since it most likely provides the ground.

What happens if you try to lock the car with the trunk open?

[jim_hoyland]

When the bulb is inserted and the red/yellow tested-No Voltage

I'll try locking the car with the trunk open tomorrow...

My trunk and frunk lights come on separately. I pulled my frunk bulb a few weeks ago to hook up a batt. tender. I hope it comes back on?!? I was going to just "push in" the latch to make the bulb go out. I was afraid I might try to close the hood on the latch and damage it so I just pulled the bulb. Hummmm???

Mine does not work as well. It's a 2000S
Where is the switch located?

Here's the link to the renntech DIY article. It's pretty straightforward.
