Joe,
You are more than likely looking at a mercury switch type lamp.
They're supposed to come on when the hood or deck lid are raised.
Check all of your connections for corrosion. If this fails to clear up
your problem run a hot test lead to your first connection inside the
trunk and plug it into the lamp side, if it lights you probably need to
check the rest of the wire for faults.
