OK This is a dorky question. There is a light in the trunk of my 2008 MX-5 on the wall that is on the back of the car, just to the left of the latch for the lid of the trunk. It has a sliding on/off switch on it. Now for the dorky part:
If I leave the light turned to "on", does it go out when the trunk is closed? (I'm thinking - does the light go out when you close the fridge door?) I lean toward thinking yes it goes out because I don't notice any drain on the battery but this is the sort of random thing I wonder about.
And if it goes out, why is there an off switch? I'm thinking - so if you're dumping a body at 4am in a swamp - the light won't come on when you open the trunk. But of course, it would have to be a small body to fit in my trunk. And I don't / wouldn't have a small body to dump. I'm just trying to imagine why I might need an off switch in the trunk :-)
I've gone so far as to consider putting a video camera in there to film it, but even that's a little obsessive, even for me. Thanks! -Carol
