The is a little picture of a car that lets you know when your doors are not closed, well the trunk light will not go off. What do you think it may be and how much to fix that minor problem?

    There is likely a switch in the trunk latch assembly, try pushing down and pulling up on the trunk and see if the light flickers on and off. This could also be from the wiring going to the trunk switch.

    The switch is in the trunk latch, there is a green and black wire at the trunk latch that has continuity to ground with the trunk open and with the trunk closed continuity to ground goes away (turning off the "trunk open" light on the dash board display).
