    you probably hit the switch and set it to always off.

    Fuse, bad connection @ central locking module in the trunk or bad module.

    Dig the module out of the trunk and look for bad connections.
    I've heard others had corrosion there.

    Under the insulation and carpet in the trunk. Passenger side.
    All the way towards the outside in the well.

    Same thing with my car but I bought it like this. I never bothered to look into it. I just switch it on when I need light. :\ I guess this is more common than I thought.
