[TR] Not good with electrical

My 69 has the trunk light come on whenever the trunk is opened regardless of the light switch.

If it's a purple wire, it should work any time.  If it's a red wire, it should only work when the parking lights are illuminated.

And for the record, if the trunk light switch or wire were to fail so the trunk light was switched on all the time, I'd rather it be on only with the parking lights.  In the daytime, you don't' need a light; and if one of the lights on my car is going to kill the battery, I'd prefer it to be a light in a place I'm likely to see rather than one hidden in the trunk.
