[V6-12v] Trunk lid light switch

[Tom Christiansen]

Folks,

I figured it out. The switch is hidden under the trim of the trunk
lid. It has part number 4A0 959 905 written on it. From the outside it
looks like a plastic cover, but upon further inspection two wires
(brown/blue and brown) and a connector are hooked up to it. In my
case, the switch is fine, but the wiring harness is broken on the left
side by the hinge... Dammit... Oh, well. Time to order some flexible
wire.
