Default Re: cargo lamp switch

I did think of the video idea and I think I will try it, but I have to buy a new bulb first. Talk about stupid. So what I just did was to open the trunk and with my finger tripped the latch as though it was closed and then I checked the socket and there was still power, so I waited a couple of minutes to see if it was on a delay like the dome lights (same fuse, same circuit) still power. I'll be buying a new bulb and a new 10A red fuse tomorrow. All this messing around I just blew my #9 10A fuse and I don't have a spare. When I bought the car there was a package of 15A fuses in the glove box, so I asked the seller what the fuses were for and he said he didn't know that they were there when he bought the car. I think the 15A fuses were bought by the original owner getting the car ready to sell and was trying to get the glove box light to light. At first I was chasing the glove box light but I did read in this forum that the glove box light only works when the key is ON. So anyway I checked that fuse and found that the glove box fuse was replaced and appears that it is the only one replaced.
