Excellent, do you know the name of the thing that goes between the black plugs? I have one missing. Tks!

The plastic tool for removing the wheel nut caps is MNA6265BA. The key might be harder to source; you can try the dealer but he might want to sell you a complete set of nuts along with the new key.



I've attached a couple of pictures showing the trunk lamp assembly. It's in two parts, both which you appear to have.

Good job on the repair btw


You was right, I have all the pieces. However, I put everything together, check if it was power (it is power) but still is not working. Which is kind of crazy, I have power then I put a lamp in the middle and it doesn't work...I bought a LED lamp, would that be a problem?

Flip the lamp the other way round in the socket & try again. Most LEDs are polarity conscious.

Yes - it's called a "Plastic Tube" - part number HJA78945DA. About $3US I think. (£2.17 UK)
A couple of inches of ball-point pen tube for 5 cents will do the same job unless you are worried about originality !!
