HELP!

[Matthew Mericle]

I've been searching for about an hour now for a write-up/how to for fixing the light in my trunk on my '02 Grand Prix SE. Can someone link me to one so I can fix it. It has a brand new bulb and it still doesn't work. It's starting to piss me off. I need a link ASAP! Thanks!

What pisses me off is having a thread title that just screams "HELP". But I won't get in to that.


How about checking fuses. Or seeing if you even have power to the socket.

Try those.

You need a link " ASAP " to fix a trunk light ? WTF

 

[Matthew Mericle]

Alright thanks. Sorry for the title.

 

[Matthew Mericle]

Yes, seeing as I'm not very mechanically savvy. I'm a noob but everyone was a noob at vehicles at one point in their life before they knew everything, sorry. Plus I learn better with pictures/directions. It's just aggravating trying to find something in your trunk at night and your trunk is pitch black.

try the bulb, cleaning the contacts on the socket, then try then the fuses all else fails tape a flashlight to the inside trunk lid and now its miller time

I might just do that, hahah. If I ever get a new Pontiac I might cut the trunk off w/ the lid and keep it as a beer cooler. Could fit a lot of beer in that big trunk.

Yep, check for voltage at the socket. If no voltage there, then continuity test your fuses. Just because the fuse doesn't look broken in that little fuse window, doesn't mean it's not popped. They break at the contacts too and you will never know until you continuity test them.
