So today I decided to go find out which switch was not working and making them stay on. It was the trunk latch switch. It is broken and indicates that the trunk is always open. I unplugged the switch so now it thinks it is always closed and the courtesy lamps work just like you would want them too.
Next I got the meter out and tested the voltage when starting... 11V+!! Starts every time. Fires right off, just like it should.
Now I just need to buy a new latch... the switch is built in of course.

Mike my courtesy lights stay on also all the time unless i cut the switch off what should i look for on the switch in trunk actual crack or just a bad swich and do you think this could also effect the operation of the top ???
thanks Howard
