I've searched the forum but can't seem to find which fuse the trunk light is tied to. I would rather not pull every fuse to check if anyone can save me some extra time. Any help, greatly appreciated.

UPDATE - I figured it out. I installed a couple of neon tubes in the trunk a week ago and the lights worked fine. Then I noticed the bulb still had a little glow to it so I pulled it out and thought nothing of it. Next night i popped the trunk to see that I had no lights. I just assumed I had blown the fuse. So after posting my first request I went ahead and pulled all the fuses to no avail. I put the light bulb back in and bingo all worked. Is there a way to not have any glow in the bulb is the new question.

Looking for interior trunk light fuse. Anyone know which fuse shuts off that light ?

15A ROOM fuse.
Refer to your owner's manual for fuse locations (or look on the back of the fuse panel cover).

Your car won't 'go' if you pull that fuse.

Strange, but true - it powers the trunk light AND the ECU memory.

Don't pull it out......

Interesting...
I do see in the shop manual that it goes to the PCM.
This being a common fuse that can blow (shorting against the body), I am curious what the side effects really are by clearing the ECU memory.
Isn't the memory just storing the trim data (which will "relearn" itself).
Why the warning to not pull this fuse?

I think the poster's intent was to pull it out to keep the trunk light off.....

I too would be interested to see how long the motor would run without it.

Actually my intent is to keep the trunk lid open for a day or two (without driving( to dry out the trunk area that got wet as well as do the taillight condensation DIY. Will I cause problems to the ECU by clearing it if I pull it out without turning the car on after doing so. If so then I won't pull it.

If you're not gonna drive it, then I really don't see an issue with it.

Can't you just pull the bulb?

The room fuse will not stop the vehicle from running. All cars come from the plant without the fuse.

Tried that but bulb gets so hot so quick it can't be touched really. I burned myself once that is why I was looking for the fuse.
