I got the trunk light for my 66 from a member here along with the roof rail lights. I have the trunk light wire ran through the trunk lid and installed correctly, but how does it get activated when the trunk is opened? I have searched images online and only see the part I have installed with the wiring and light going through the trunk lid. I don't see where a push pin installs in my trunk or in the harness or have necessary hardware. I have the 66 shop manual and can't seem to locate it in there either.
As always, I appreciate the help here! I'm getting so close to finishing this 66, and all these small details are really a pain. My 66 was completely stripped of all her options when I got her, so I didn't have any of these parts to log. I still need to find a parking brake light, hood light, glove box light, ash tray light, and door edge guards. The wiring harness when I got this car was a painless for a 68. I have since found original 66 wiring harnesses in great shape, but hooking up these odds and ends is challenging.

1966 GTO trunk light has an internal fluid (quicksilver?) switch and is fully automatic.

So there's nothing else to install? It's all in the light? I haven't fully hooked up all the wiring yet. Still got to put the dash and ignition switch in. I wanted to get the headliner in before putting the restored dash in.
Thanks for the reply.

topfuel,

Here is my ‘66 blue trunk light wire routing.

Hope this helps get it right for you.

Chris.

Thank you for the pics. I need to find a couple of those clips, but that is the way I routed mine. It is painful installing those metal clips on freshly painted hinges. I used a 5/16 head anchor bolt, I will change that out for one of the wheel well trim screws that is in your pic.
