HELP: Problem with trunk light in gauge cluster

For some reason my trunk light turns on when i open my door instead of only turning on when the trunk is open, has anybody had this problem? i thought the trunk was open but i opened and closed it and it was still on? when i closed the door it stopped lighting, but when i open the door the trunk light again turns on, with the door open light also

SOL1D,

It's a fuse in the driver's kickpanel (#20-22 or something).  Check them out and replace it.  This happened to me and I thought the ECU was fried.  It's because on that particular circuit, there's a diode to stop the current in the one direction or something.  With the fuse blow, a few circuits come together by default with the one being blown.

Just trust me on this one and check all your interior fuses.

Let me know.

Andrew.

btw… it could also be a shorted or bad pin switch but I doubt it…
