just bought my first car (corsa sport 1.4 N reg) and i have got a couple of issues on it. the light in the boot doesnt work ive tried changing the bulb but still no luck. ive just had to change the bulbs that light up the speedo and rev counter which was a right bitch. just wondering what could the problem be if the light in the boot doesnt come on? cheers.

Are the wires connected to it?

You forgot to mention the other bits too bro?

(bit smokey, clutch bearings a bit noisy, brakes?) a good service and a few bits and it will look the dogs

The push switch on the end of the tailgate is connected to a connector block just inside the side panelling on the left. Unplug it and check the connections, the one for the light should be the purple/brown one. Mine had corroded for some reason so if thats the case just bypass the plug with the wire at the other side of the plug and it should work. If not just check the wiring itself for breaks.
