Someone in the past has mucked with your wiring. The trunk light should
come
on when the trunk is open, regardless of the position of the lighting
switch or
whether or not the ignition is on. Same as the glovebox light, or horns.
The power comes from a fused feed directly from 12 volts via a purple
wire. Sounds like someone decided to not actually fix your wiring some
time ago but just fed the trunk light circuit off a taillight wire.
