This may have been answered before, so forgive me if I am being repetitive...

I have a 2000 986S (6spd manual). I noticed the rear trunk light does not come on when trunk is open - front works fine! So, I pulled the light socket out to replace the bulb (thinking it's burned out bulb). To my surprise, the socket was not attached to a harness! It was merely covering a whole in the carpet. I pulled the carpet out, and could not find a loose socket anywhere.

So my questions: 1) did the rear trunk came with a functioning light for 2000s? If so, what should I be looking for behind the carpet to get this thing hooked up?

Thanks!
