1986 SSP Trunk Light Question
Was a switch in the trunk to turn off the trunk light when the trunk lid was up an option from Ford or something the Colorado State Patrol installed on their cars? I always wondered what the switch was for until I found the trunk light all taped up and inside the trunk lid (from when it was painted) and I reinstalled it and it did not work. I flipped the switch as my first step in troubleshooting the problem and the light came on. Anybody else have this on their SSP(s)? Thanks,
Bob

Jim, the car is at my cabin and I won't be back there until next weekend. The switch is a heavy duty steel toggle switch mounted on the drivers side trunk opening just below the weatherstipping about six inches from the trunk hinge. It faces the rear and the toggle lever is parallel with the length of the car. Down for on and up for off. Let me know what you find on your CO. car. Thanks,
Bob

Jim, I found this picture on my computer. Kind of gives you an idea of size and placement.
