Sounds like you've go the answer. The plunger makes the connection to ground the light, as in the door . The other VERY likely connects to that mystery wire in the back seat area. The wire in the rear seat is supposed to be a 18ga black wire as is the wire from the bulb socket.

I have a 65 Belvedere with a trunk light in it. The light is inop and I replaced the bulb. I am not an electrical person so I will try and describe the set-up. There is a plunger device on the left side of the trunk. It has 1 wire attached to it running to the bulb mechanism. The bulb has 2 wires coming out of it. One to the plunger and the other to nothing. Should this be a ground wire? Also, I have a wire coming from behind the backseat that is not connected to anything. Shouldn't the plunger be receiving juice from somewhere?Todd - 1965 Plymouth Belvedere II ---- Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
