Default Trunk lights aren't working, is there a fuse for that??

I looked thorugh the fuse panel and no luck, the interior lights all work, the license plate light work, but the two lights in the trunk don't. Any ideas?

Default when the trunk is open almost all the way. move it from front to back about 6 inches pretty fast.

There is a switch something like a mercury switch that turns the trunk light on when its open. Mine was taking a little while to turn the light on after the trunk was open. If I shake the trunk lid a little when its almost open, the light will come on. You are just moving the trunk along its normal path of opening.
