Trunk light doesn't work

My trunk light doesn't work. My first question is how does it turn on in the first place? I heard it might use a mercury switch or something but i have no clue how this works or where its located if thats the case.

I followed the wire and found it was snapped/cut/ripped out somehow..i found this little electrical junction thing in the drivers side trunk well and i found a plastic plug that had no wire going to it so i assumed this is where it went..but when i went to measure for voltage i got nothing. I'll have to check again in the morning because maybe i wasn't getting a good ground
