"Check your license plate lights" The red lights on each side of the trunk open indicator

you didn't mention what car model/type you have. anyway, this may be due to the license plate lights being burnt out, check it.

The license plate lights are in the ledge above the license plate. 2 screws keep the lens cover in place. Remove the screws, and the cover comes off. Just pull the lamp out (wedge base) and replace.
