What is the Trunk Light Bulb all about?

The trunk is an enclosed space where you are able to store or transport your possessions. As it is a secured place, natural light does not illuminate the trunk compartment. The light bulb or bulbs that illuminates the trunk is controlled by a switch that is either mounted to the trunk lid, indicating its position based on the position of the trunk lid, or is located in the trunk latch.The trunk and its contents are then visible for you to insert or remove items. The trunk bulb turns off again when the trunk lid is closed.

Keep in mind:

  • The trunk light only turns on when the trunk is open. Accessing the trunk through a rear seat pass-through will not turn the trunk light on.
  • The trunk light may be equipped with an override switch to shut it off. Check to make sure the override switch in the trunk hasn’t been accidentally bumped or turned off.
  • A loose bulb filament can cause intermittent trunk light operation; replacing the bulb should fix the problem.

How it's done:

  • The trunk light is verified to be inoperative
  • The inside trunk light panel is removed and the inoperative bulb is removed and checked with an ohm meter
  • The new trunk light bulb is installed
  • The trunk light bulb panel is installed
  • The trunk is opened and closed to check operation of the trunk light

Our recommendation:

If the trunk light bulb doesn’t illuminate when the trunk is opened or if the light illuminates only at times when the trunk lid is lifted, you may need to have the light bulb replaced.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Trunk Light Bulb?

  • Trunk light bulb doesn’t illuminate when the trunk is opened
  • Trunk light works intermittently when the trunk is opened
  • Trunk light is glowing dimly

How important is this service?

The trunk light is a convenience item since not all vehicles are equipped with a trunk light bulb. It does, however, make inserting and removing the contents of your trunk much easier, especially in the dark or dimly lit environments. Have a burnt out trunk light bulb replaced at your earliest convenience.

Pontiac Grand Prix V6-3.8L Turbo - Window Motor / Regulator Assembly Replacement (Driver Side Rear, Passenger Side Rear) - Houston, Texas
Not sure how he did it but knocked out 2 rear window regulators in a matter of minutes! I supplied the parts but the cost for labor was extremely fair and couldn't pass it up. I'm a weekend wrench turner myself but time and motivation have been a problem as of late. So glad I found Your Mechanic and Tyler! Hope not to see him too much but if I ever need help, he's the guy I want to show up. Very happy!

Pontiac Grand Am L4-2.4L - Brake Pads Replacement (Front) - Denver, Colorado
Jonathan was a life saver. Our car was not in a movable position blocking the garage door.. He rescued us and made our day. To get this level of expert work on a Sunday certainly goes above and beyond. Competent and quick professional workmanship got us on the road again with fair pricing. Thank-you again Jonathan.
