There is a switch by the trunk lid and sounds like it needs replacing.
The socket size for the trunk tail light on a 2001 Buick LeSabre is 7mm. Bulbs can be purchased at most local automotive repair stores.
I think the light assembly screws out from the inside of the trunk.
Should have an access panel inside trunk
open trunk lid and locate the trunk light switch.push switch to see if light goes off. if light does not go off, replace switch. if light does go off, adjust switch to where trunk lid operates switch when trunk is closed
The sensor light for the trunk may stay on when the trunk is closed due to a malfunction in the trunk latch or sensor, which may not be properly detecting that the trunk is securely closed. Additionally, a wiring issue or a blown fuse could cause the light to remain illuminated. It's also possible that dirt or debris is obstructing the sensor, leading to incorrect readings. Checking the latch and sensor for proper function and cleanliness is a good first step in troubleshooting this issue.
is it in the rear spoiler? Thru the trunk, light socket is right below rear window
From under the back deck inside the trunk. Hope you like standing on your head...
power = light green ground = black
You must remove the entire tailight panel - remove trunk liner and the recessed nuts.
I believe that one is accessed thru the trunk; lift the carpet out of the way and you should be able to remove the assembly.
It may be due to a bad alternator. If the alternator has a bad diode it will draw battery power when the car is off. Another possible draw is the trunk light. The trunk light works with a sensor that is mounted to the curved bar on the left side (drivers side) of the trunk. This sensor sometimes slides out of adjustment and keeps the trunk light on when the trunk is closed.
The boot open light on a 2004 Jaguar X-Type indicates that the trunk lid is not securely closed. This warning is part of the vehicle's safety features to prevent driving with the trunk open, which could pose a hazard or result in loss of cargo. If the light remains on despite the trunk being closed, it may suggest a malfunction in the trunk latch or the sensor. It's advisable to inspect the trunk latch and wiring for any issues if the warning persists.
