Moving a Trunk Light Switch/Assembly From One to Another

Post by ReverendRed » Wed Feb 25, 2009 4:31 pm

I'm going to a parts car that has a trunklight installed. My Neon currently does NOT have one.

Can anyone recommend what I'll need (both equipment and procedure) to remove the trunk light from the parted out Neon and install it in my Neon?

You are going to need the third brake light harness, trunk latch and the light that snaps in the hole and as much of the harness with the plug you can get all from the donor Neon, some Neons are wired for trunk light and all you do is install the latch and third brake light harness, find the trunk light connector under package tray and snap in light and plug in and done, if not pre wired this is where the light harness you cut off the donor comes in handy, one side of the light gets a constant 12volts from the dome light wiring which is under the right rear sail panel trim and the latch grounds it......Here is a diagram that should help......:)
