No lights in trunk w140

[bc5sel]

The lights in the trunk of my 93 500sel stopped working last week. I have looked for a bad fuse and checked the bulbs both are fine. Can anyone tell me where to find the switch that operates the trunk lights?

The 140 has a on/off trunk switch. It is located inside the trunk.

a pinched wire due to the "arm" on the trunk. Wires are passed through there the arm and after a large number of trunk open/close, wires break. Standard problem.
