As a side note, since I put some dynamat in the trunk lid and my 5-axis spoiler, the extra weight on the trunk lid gives the struts some more work (sometimes I can't even tell it is open). So where is the latch/sensor that tells the car the trunk is open?
The sensor sends a signal to the body control module the turns on the light for the cluster and provides the ground for the light in the trunk. That sensor is part of the latch that releases the trunk to open.
