The #9 fuse is fine (has continuity). I did notice that the trunk light plastic cover is warped and brown in the center. It's light does not seem any brighter than on my '07 Ltd. The limited's trunk light cover is fine. The bulb in the SRT-6 is 10W and made in France. I'm assuming it is original to the car. But why the heat build-up?
FWIW: the '07 Ltd coupe has 57K and the '05 SRT-6's has 56K mileage wise.
I'm inclined to think that the problem might be the sliding switch itself. Does one pop-off the outer plastic or just the sliding switch? OR...?
Also, where is the Central Locking Pump specifically located. I thought I read it is in the trunk. If so, where in the trunk?
I think you will find the the central locking pump controls the interior lights.
The fact that the cover is distorted would indicate to me that at one point the light was on for a considerable amount of time. The bulb is totally exposed at therear of the holder.The pump is in the trunk and a search will show you pictures of it. I have put them up here in the last couple of weeks.
