i would say either fuse is gone but more than likely ur wiring is whacked, you have to ask yourself one question do you really need a trunk light?

light in trunk

My 91 DX did not come with a trunk light. I had the dealer add one at the 600 mile service.

It was a bit funny. I told the service writer that the trunk light didn't work and I wanted it fixed under warranty. He told me the car didn't come with a trunk light.

Highly possible that for your car the original owner added it on (himself) and didn't secure the electrical connections properly.

I have another wiring harness clip hanging down in my trunk besides the trunk light one. I have no idea what it's for

Yeah the SE's didnt come with em either...........but the plug on the trunk......I believe that it is for a spoiler (the light on it) even the models not equipped came with the wiring.
