Trunk Lamp Switch:




Some 1985-86 6000 and Grand Am models may experience an intermittent dead battery condition.. If after a complete electrical system check no fault can be found, check the trunk lamp switch. Some trunk lamp switches may intermittently stay on with the trunk lid closed. Suspect trunk lamp switches contain a green ring around the bulb contact in the lamp socket (see Illustration). Only lamp switches with a white ring should be used as replacements.
