Trunk Lid Light Removal/Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Mazda 3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Fogging or dew condensation may occur on the inside of the trunk lid light because of a natural phenomenon occurring as a result of a temperature difference between the interior and exterior of the trunk lid light. However, it has no effect on the light performance because the phenomenon is resolved when temperature inside the trunk lid light rises after the back-up light turns on or a period of time has elapsed.

Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION (US) .)
Remove the trunk lid handle. (See TRUNK LID HANDLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
Remove the trunk lid trim. (See TRUNK LID TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
Disconnect the connectors.
