Check the AAW (AKA Masters) wiring schematics and you'll see that it changed
in '74 to requiring the headlight switch to be on for the trunk light to
work. We just had a thread on this in the 6-Pack Forum.

Ummmmm....ditto on my '75.....the boot light doesn't work without the
parking lights. I checked my neighbor's '75 and that works the same way.

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.
