Engine Lid Light issues
Hello, I have searched via google and forum search and could not find an answer. Apologies in advance if I missed an answer.

My engine lid light will only come on if the frunk light is on (ie. when the frunk is open).
When the frunk is open the engine lid switch does not turn the engine lid light off and on. It is always on.
When the frunk is closed and the engine lid is open there IS power to the engine lid light - when i was taking it out to see if the bulb was bad i got some sparks when touching part of the light fixture to the frame.
I'm pretty confused about how I can go about figuring out what is wrong here. :/ Thanks in advance for any advice.

Unsure whether this is normal? My engine lid light glows too when the frunk is open. I noticed this when I opened the frunk in the dark, and I saw the engine lid light turn on. And I know one other 964 that is the same.

I pulled the switch out, cleaned it up with a brush and contact cleaner, and crimped the end a little better and it works perfectly now, thank you!
