My 1994 Mark VIII has been experiencing some electrical issues that is causing a series of problems to the trunk lid exterior light panel, the interior trunk release switch, and ultimately I think it's causing the battery to drain.
I first noticed it when my trunk release button quit working. Along with the button issue, the rear deck lights began to work intermittently. When turning on the exterior running lights, the trunk lid panel would not light. However, once the trunk was opened to the point where the INTERIOR trunk light was lit, the exterior trunk lights would come on and stay on. Once the trunk was closed and re-opened, the exterior light bar would begin to alternate with the interior trunk light. As the deck lid was opened enough to trigger the interior trunk switch, the exterior light panel would shut off and vice versa as the trunk was being closed. And at this point the trunk release switch would be fully functional inside the vehicle. This sequence would last for a few minutes as I opened and close the trunk, but eventually the exterior light panel would quit working altogether and the trunk release switch inside the car is no longer functioning.
I've chased the wires but I am not able to find the trunk lid switch that triggers the interior trunk light as the trunk is opened.
THIS IS ANNOYING!!!
Any Suggestions? x(
