Schematic questions

Hi all, this is in the context of a 55 400 but I think everything here is the same for all 55 and 56.

- How is the trunk light supposed to work? I don't see a switch in the schematic or on the light, but surely it is not always on?

- It says that there is a "33 DK.G. + W TCR" (dark green with white stripe?) wire spliced to the heater blower wires off the fuse box, that goes to power the reverse lights. Why would they fuse the reverse lights with the heater? Also, my reverse lights work even with the heater wire disconnected from the fuse box. Need to figure out why this is...

- Neither of my blower fans work. The front I believe does not have a good ground because the grille is off (the bolt holding an arm for the grille also has the fan ground, and is loose), but is the underseat heater not working a common problem? I haven't poked around a ton yet for this in particular because it seems the electric fuel pump is hooked to the heater fuse in replace of that wire (I swapped them temporarily to test the heaters). I'm going to re-do the fuel pump to go thru a modern inline fuse later.
