What is the Trunk Light Bulb all about?
The trunk, or boot, has a small bulb that switches on when you open the lid and off when you close it. It helps you load and find things in the dark.
Keep in mind:
It is a simple and low-cost job, but the right bulb type matters. If the light stays on after you close the boot, the switch is faulty and the bulb can drain your battery overnight. Water getting into the boot can corrode the bulb holder.
How it's done:
- The lens or cover is removed.
- The old bulb is replaced with the correct type.
- The switch and holder are checked for corrosion.
- The light is tested with the boot opened and closed.
Our recommendation:
If the bulb keeps blowing, have the holder and wiring checked. A boot that leaks water when it rains needs its seals checked too.
What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Trunk Light Bulb?
The boot is dark when open.
The light flickers.
The light stays on and drains the battery.
How important is this service?
Low importance. It is a convenience fix, but a light that stays on can leave you with a flat battery.
