lights 850 1995

Does anyone know the bulb number for the trunk light on the 850 sedan? I tried putting in the 6411, which fit perfectly, but got no luck. The interesting thing is that the assembly does seem to be getting power as it sparked when it came into contact with the frame (the fuse did not blow after this).

Another question: What does the "0" setting do on the knob that controls the headlights? When I put it in this position, I get headlights but no dashlights...

Thanks!

    Don't know trunk bulb number. Is the switch turned on? The black knob disables the light, or allows it to function when trunk is open. There is a switch in the latch that grounds the light. The 0 position on the headlights is daytime running lights. All the exterior lights come on, but dash lights stay off and high beams will only flash when activated. Switch to on position and dash lights work, and high beams will stay on when activated.
