R52 Trunk light not working

My new to me R52 2007 has an issue with the trunk light not coming on. The bulb is not getting power. It could be the black switch on the trunk door or the fuse.

I have searched a lot and cannot find what fuse controls the trunk light. Does anyone which one it is?

Thanks

Hello,

Should be part of the interior lights. My guess is the wire socket might be loose in the clear lens housing.

Then check that sensor. 61319119052 These can fail, make sure its not sticking.

Thank you for responding. I replaced the bulb. the light connections are solid. Pulled the switch and check on a meter and it works. Still no power......Interior lights work. I cant find anything else not working

Here's the wiring diagram: https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/r...-light/qhsNEip. The light is wired directly to the control module in the passenger footwell (which also controls all other lighting). The fuse shown is F14, but it were blown other things may also stop working.

Trace the wire back to the fuse location to see if something is broken or sliced. My guess is that behind the fabric panel in the trunk something is broken in the wire there or maybe at the footwell module plug ( maybe corroded)?

Thanks
