The trunk light turns on when the trunk is opened, but turns off when the lid gets about half way open. I assume there is a mercury switch somewhere in the trunk, but I can't find it. How do I fix this problem?
SOURCE: When you press the button for the remote trunk lid
it could possibly be the motor going bad or it just simply needs to be lubed up a little
SOURCE: trunk wont open and the back seat wont fold down on our kia optim
By switching the lever you locked the inside trunk release, you will need to put lever back. as far as the trunk you may need to remove the rear seat, pop lower part out and then remove the bolts to the top half of the seat then try to reach the lever so it will open from the inside. i've found that many of these cars with the pop lever inside have sticking trunk locks from not being used, what you do first is spary lock good,with wd40 or pb blaster then slide key in and out and try to turn this may take a whhile but it works then tumbler will free up, you just have to keep spraying inside lock and working the key.

I looked on the hinges, but there is not a switch there. The only switch I can find is attached to the lock. When the lock is opened, it allows the contacts to touch and make the circut for the light to come on. But after the trunk is half way up, it turns off. There must be a mercury switch somewhere, but I can't find it.
