Brake Light/Trunk Light Problem

First off, great forum.

I just took my 1994 940 Sedan to Circuit City and had a new stereo/speakers put in. They had to "rewire" power due to the amp in the car. This is what they told me. I have little knowledge of how the power in my car actually works. Regardless, they must have done something wrong because the Third (Center) Brake Light no longer works, and the light in the trunk doesn't work either. I'm going to call them and ask them to fix it for me but if the problem is something as simple as checking a fuse or something, I'd rather do that, as it's a big hassle out of my day to drop my car off there and wait around in a Circuit City.

If anyone has any advice, it's greatly appreciated.

I doubt if it will be a fuse as two fuses are involved:
#4 covers all the brake lights so if only the middle one is not working that fuse must be OK.
#5 covers glovebox light; interior light; trunk light; audio system; antenna; door open warning and vanity mirror lights. If only the trunk light is out the fuse should be OK.

They have either pulled the live leads out for the two lights or, most likely, disturbed the earth (ground) leads for them, possibly even forgotten to reconnect them if they had to take them off.

Thanks a lot, Bill. Now I at least know a little bit of what's going on when I call them.
