[TR] Not good with electrical

[Joe Laurito]

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.
