the lighter was from another 1954 Packard patrician so no issues there
I’m at school at the moment but the issue most likely is the breaker you mention as neither the trunk light nor back light function. (Only from the passenger side door?) Your assumption of the wire going back up to the headliner being in a healthy state is correct. As far as i can see it go back up the top it seems perfectly fine. I will use the image provided as reference. Thanks a lot!

I recently removed the front seat from my 1954 Patrician parts car and know from experience that the hard part is getting the roll pin out where the actuator anchors to the floor. Ultimately I had a custom tool made but somewhere in my Tale of Two Patricians blog there is much discussion where various methods were shown. I’m at my shop now with only a mobile device so can’t look it up but if no one posts any details here, when I’m back to the PC I’ll try to locate the page and provide a link to it.

It's no problem at all! Starting here you can see the mechanism with the post following showing Howard's simple way of doing it. Of course, I don't do anything the easy way so I had a custom tool made which you can see here but I would stick with Howard's method!
The seat is extraordinarily heavy and will take two people to get it out. I did it myself on this parts car but then I wasn't trying not to damage anything else in the process.

Thank you once again Don! And thanks to all for pointing me in the right direction. That cigar cable was completely fried all the way up that seat!
