any 4th gens have trunk open dash light indicator?

i'm just curious because my car was a stripped down gxe when i bought it and i've added many factory options like a full i30 interior minus auto climate control, and i was just wondering if this was ever an option? not sure if it came stock to people with power trunk, because i added that myself too.

not a big deal, just one of those things because i've had it open a few random times without knowing, so i'd like to know...i'm just suprised it doesn't say a door is open or something...so i'm not sure if maybe mine isn't set up, or it was just never an option.

I have SE and I don't think there is a warning lamp just for the trunk. It might be tied into the door warning lamp. I know there is a sensor on the latch. I believe it's for the oem alarm though.

as for the trunk, isnt there a sensor for the hood ? WHats that sensor going towards you (when you are facing the car from the front) from the battery? Its on that support bar on the front of the engine. Not that i wouldnt notice the hood open, but i just thought that it would show me a light on the dash.
Thanks

last time i purposely left the hood open all the way, and closed all doors and started car, and nothing came on the dash, no lights, nothing.
Probably the led went out for the light, correct ?

yes & no.
yes, being your security light when your car is turned off and unlocked.
no, being that a seperate trunk ajar light was never offered on 4th gens
