The engine bay, glove compartment, and frunk lights are all wired together. When one is on they all are on. They are controlled from the alarm module.
They are on the same fuse as all the other interior lights.
What does this mean?
If any interior lights work the fuse is OK.
If you open the engine bay and the engine bay light comes on check to see if the frunk light is on, too. It should be. If it's not check the wiring to the light bulb.
Latch the engine bay with the lid open (use a screwdriver to close the latch). This makes the alarm think the lid is closed. Now open the frunk and see if the engine bay light is lit. If it's not lit the problem is in the frunk latch switch. Remember to pop the engine bay before you try to close the cover!
If anyone has NA schematics you could send them to me and I'll review them.
