I have a trunk light that will not light. I have now voltage at the light socket. I can not find the switch that operates to turn on the light. I have checked all fuses. I am struck as to what to do?

Good morning,

I attached a wiring diagram as well as the location for you in the trunk.

Check for power to the bulb. If it does not have power, it comes from the fuse I circled.
