Light in luggage compartment??

[ed9msi]

My luggage compartment light doesn't work. What's the design, I mean should it light only when the lights on the car are on or should it light as soon as the back door is opened? Any special typicall problem one should check first?

It should light any time the doors are open. Dumb question, did you check to see if the bulb is burned out?

I had a spare one of those. I THINK it was in with all the other stuff I sent to Handy Cruiser.

Check fuse #13 (10 amp) in the dash fuse block
Check the bulb
If both good, you need to check continuity in the wire and through connectors
The bulb circuit is grounded by the instrument panel courtesy lamps driver

Do you have functioning visor-mirror vanity lights?
Overhead dome light?
Power mirrors?
These above are also fuse #13 protected

It was just a bad contact around the bulb, put led in so it's even brighter.
