I replaced the bulb, but the trunk lighting still doesn't work. The fuse
responsible for the trunk light should be OK, for everything else is working
fine. Any idea what can be wrong? It's really annoying.

I have a 2001 95, my trunk light also quit working, I found the wires which go into the trunk lid through a flex rubber covering broken, I pulled back the flex rubber of the hard plastic trunk lid wire retainer and exposed the wires, the broken wires were readily visible, it happens because when you close the trunk lid the wires repeatedly get kinked and fail, this is a common problem, hope this helps you.

I owe you one! I exposed the wires running through the rubber housing into
the trunk lid and saw that three out of nine were damaged and one had
snapped. After 30 minutes everything was in perfect shape again, which saved
me a visit to the dealer and some money. Thanks very much for your
suggestion.
Best regards
