Fuel tank/wiring harness question

Just found the trunk light in R4541. I went looking for it after viewing the above posts. It is non-functional, but look forward to getting it working again. According to the wiring diagram it seems the light is on the backup light circuit.  I'll verify further. The switch is still on the trunk lid. Should be fun getting it to illuminate again. Thanks!

After you check the bulb,   most likely the problem is in the mercury switch in line on the wiring, probably attached to a trunk hinge bolt.   They are not rebuildible, but a good electronics supply store should have a new mercury switch.

The bulb and switch were bad. I rigged a manual switch in place of the mercury switch so I could operate the light at will. The ground to the light is switched and comes from the parking light circuit. I may go to Fry's this afternoon and see if they have a mercury type switch I can use. The one I Installed functions but not the most attractive. It's all about looking good.
