Is this orange wire in trunk for trunk light?
I bought a trunk light to install on my 72, looking for the wire I found an orange wire wrapped around the harness in trunk. Anyone know if that is for the light? Thanks

OP, keep in mind some years trunk lamps don't work unless the car lights are on. Think that change was complete by 72.

Yes- the correct Cutlass one mounts on hinge, and there's the earlier (pre 68?) big round one that mounts more in center of trunk lid. However, maybe he bought a 70-72 Chevelle/Monte Carlo style that mounts at rear underside of trunklid in one of openings to left or right of the key/lock/latch opening. That would require snaking wire the whole length of trunklid. I have that style in my 70 Chevelle. It would presumably work fine on a Cutlass, but not technically correct.
