There is an accessory light fuse on the passenger footwell and a relay, check your owners manual to see where they are and check them.

Not knowing what year or model (I assume a convertible from the picture) I am going on FSM wiring for a 2001 Vert. I doubt that there are changes between the years for each model for this feature but that I can check also if needed.

The fuse in question is #29 and the relay is #42.

My car is not at home but the FSM shows 2 lights in the cargo area. If so, on your car are both not working?

Next, if you open the rear decklid (there is a switch in the latch mechanism) do the interior footwell lights in the car come on? If they do come on then I know the fuse and relay are good.

Give me your feedback and we can go from there. If you want to know how the system works and interacts with the BCM send me a PM with your phone number and I can explain, too involved and time consuming to try and write up in a message.

Have you pulled the bulbs to verify they are good?
