Check all the fuses in both fuse boxes (under the dashboard + under the hood) and they are all OK. Running out of ideas now ...any ideas or experience sharing will be much appreciated.

Other possibilities:
1. The Trunk switch needs to be checked ..but how ?
2. Damaged wire or something !!!
3. Some relay not working properly ..how to check ?

Best Regards

The hatch light works directly off the 15A DOME fuse in the under hood fuse panel. If that fuse is good, you can check out the hatch switch by pulling the hatch plastic panel and checking the brown wire from the latch. With the hatch open that wire should show continuity to ground.
