The red and license plate lights shut off about five inches BEFORE the
trunk latches. I have an appointment with the garage Friday

concur. especially given the latest revelation that "The red and
license plate lights shut off about five inches BEFORE the trunk latches."

anyone that can observe that, yet /not/ figure out that there is a
wiring problem, and it's somewhere on the loom that connects the trunk,
should indeed stick to the passenger seat.

I promised that I'd provide results when subject was fixed. Mechanic
indicated that wire was broken. Wire was soldered. Works fine. LESS
expensive than expected. Thanks to all.
