Steve,
This should be the switch for the trunk light. There should be a purple/white
wire from it to the trunk light, and there should be a purple wire from the
other side of the trunk light. The purple wire is the power wire, is hot all
the time, and is NOT fused, so make sure it doesn't have a chance to touch
ground! The trunk hinge pushes on the switch to operate it.
