Exclamation DIY Trunk Light Switch Replacement Corolla 93 - 97

This is a DIY on how to replace or add a trunk light switch for a 93 - 97 Corolla .

The Switch is connected to the trunk hook . You do not have to remove the hook just the switch .



First you remove the plastic piece and the carpet that covers up the area .


Then with a angle phillips screw driver you unscrew the switch from the hook .


This is a example on how you would do it .


Then you remove the plug from the old switch then you clip on the new switch to the plug


Then you put every thing back together and test out your trunk light .

Can you please also post a photo of where the light itself is (and what kind of bulb it takes)?

For those of you who don't think your trunk light works, jiggle the switch, it can get stuck in a position where the light won't come on.

Fun fact, if it's stuck in that position and you have the stock VIP RS-3000 (or whatever) car alarm, you can open your trunk when the alarm's armed and it won't trigger it.
