If I am not mistaken,I think the light will go out on its own after a few minutes. It does on my ZL1 so I would think it would on the 28 also.

I'm going to be in the same boat in April, I was just going to disconnect the battery.

if you disconnect the battery and accidently close the trunk...then how can you open the trunk to reconnect the battery?

My trunk light automatically goes out after about 5 minutes as well... hell open your trunk and see if it goes out after some time... it'd be alot easier than worrying with fuses or disconnecting the battery...

The Z28 does not have a pass through seat, part of the weight reduction process.
