hey guys I have a 2000 TL (bought used). I was wondering if there is a light in the trunk? I nver noticed one.

Thanks so much,
Lalith

 

I have a 03 and it has a light, I assume that all trunks would have a light. Hop in and take a look up. I don't see why it wouldn't. Maybe the bulb just burned out.

 

how do u turn it on? Is there a special switch for it or does it turn on every time u open the trunk even if the lights are not on?

 

Does your car have aftermarket spoiler? I know that after I installed the spoiler the trunk light became tempermental. It is a very small wire that engages the light that I really didn't feel like messing with to fix it.

 

Once the trunk is open the light should come on. If you have a spoiler and that light doesnt work anymore then the guys who installed it yanked a wire too hard and it made it loose. The 3rd brake light and the trunk light wires are all tied together.

 

yea like Bxscig said the light should come on when the trunk lid is opened. look in the trunk in the middle right near the the edge of the trunk opening, you will see the light cover. pop it off and see if the bulb is ok. if not maybe the wires got pulled loose

 

Make sure it isn't a blown bulb or fuse.

 

OLD THREAD I KNOW....but which fuse is for the Trunk light ....the fuse diagrams dont show it

 

HELP HELP HELP!!!!!!!...........i need to install LEDs in the trunk.

Passanger side or driver side?????

 

Are you guys really gonna make pull each one of the fuses out one at a time and check if the light went out.........come on know ............acurazine has never let me down.

 

If you just want to install LEDs in the trunk you can just tap those wires. I would say it is the Interior Courtesy Light.

 

YeH I just verified on the wiring diagram, interior lights on the passenger side fuse

 

thanks Bxscig,

this isnt for my car first oh all....
to begin the light in the trunk was out so my friend thought it was just the bulb...then he tapped the wires to connect the leds but thoses didnt come on either. And the fuse box digrams dont specifically say which fuse is for the trunk light.

The interior lights in the car work fine....(dome, map and door lights all work)

So i'm guessing there is something wrong with the wiring in the back....

ANY COMMENTS OR thoughts on what is causing the problem

 

Oh ok, thought it was for a 2nd gen TL... well do this for me then... tell me what car it is and I will give another look. I have all if not most the wiring diagrams for cars 1990 to 2002, i am lucky that the wiring for the 03 TL is the same as the 02 TL

 

Another suggestion is test each wire when the trunk is open and see if there is power going to one of the two wires.

 

its a two door 98 honda accord.........and i think its the pretty much the same fuse and wiring set as a stock tl without navi.

 

I told him to do that but he doesnt have a mulitimeter.... I do but i leave in near boston and he lives in LI, NY

 

I am in nyc myself, not so far from li. well anyway, I looked it is a fuse 11 i believe passenger side which controls all of it.... white/blue wire coming out of that fuse box harness some where on passenger side to driver side then it continues to a harness and out as a white/blue wire to back as a white/blue wire again. dx,lx or ex??? it appears there are different wiring past that. dx,lx white/blue to orange and after the switch to black... on the ex... it is orange to brown to blue to black.

i could send u what i have on the trunk diagram.

 

home depot or radio shack, any cheap one is fine

 

He has a 98 accord coupe ex v6 and wires goin in to the trunk light are orange to something?? i forget what.


Bxscig PM sent

 

I think the ex was orange to brown to blue to black. It is like a harness probably.
