Well today I had to transport a long stick of bamboo for my mom. I opened up the trunk pass through and it was fine. As i started driving I looked in the rear view mirror to make sure it was OK. Then I noticed whenever I brake, the light inside of the trunk goes on. Is this normal? If so, why?

 

I've never noticed it on my CL, but I had a Mustang that did that. It's not the trunk light but a reflection of the brake lights.

 

exactly what is happening in this case...

 

I notice that all the time when I get kicked into the backseat. No biggie man.
