Default trunk light

my trunk lights on my 02 convertible only work intermittently when trunk is opened. they always come on when I turn on the interior lights with the switch on the dash so I know the bulbs and fuse are ok and I just replaced the switch located in the trunk latch assembly, and there is no visible wire damage, any ideas.

Hey! It's better to feel like a moron every now and then than to suffer as being one. I know!
