In the rear of the vehicle there are two trunk mounted lights that I am having trouble with. I recently replaced both bulbs but I can't get them to turn on. I have turned on all the light switches, blinkers, braked with the hazards on and off but I have not seen them come on. Are these non-functional lights?

that is your high mount brake light, have someone push the brakes with key on and then watch or place a mirror behind them and hit the brakes. they should work if not it may be a bad switch.
