Luggage LIghts do not light up when opening trunk

1998 Jaguar XK8 , I replaced the bulbs thinking they were burned out.

The Microswitch is actually attached to the Latch mechanism But I would suggest that you mark the position of the latch BEFORE removing the bolts as there is quite a range of adjustment available when the bolts are loosened!

Luggage compartment lights

Should be in the trunk fuse box, more more likely its the harness that feeds the lights, when the trunk is open you need to check and make sure there is power to the lights.
