rear cargo light? and others...

[edkellock at juno.com]

The door switches are inside of little rubber accordion booties.
They're there, I swear.  

And to reiterate.  The rear cargo light does come on when you
open the hatch.  Mine did anyway and I can't imagine that this
insignificant feature would have been changed for any reason
along the way...
