trunk light switch
Where is the switch located? When I put back my speedo after having the odometer gear repaired I noticed that there was a light shining in the trunk even though it was shut. No wonder my battery was running flat until I put on a tricke charger!

The trunk light switch is in the latching mechanism that secures the "frunk" lid. You can close the mechanism by hand to turn off the light. I do it when I have the battery on the trickle charger in the winter. Just don't forget to unlatch it before closing it to drive. Also, having the rear engine cover / trunk lid open will turn the frunk light on as well.

The trunk light will stay on for a pre-determined time when the doors are open, then, supposedly shut off. If it doesn't, then you may have a faulty or misaligned micro-switch under the trunk latch. If you need to check or adjust it, take off the black plastic panel, locate the micro-switch and check the actuator arm for proper operation. Adjust as necessary.
