For the light to be always on, the signal wire must be permanently grounded. Does your light have a switch on it? If so, then it's probably wired to ground instead of to the latch.

That's the thing though. When I installed the light it worked perfect. It would turn on once I popped the hatch glass and off when I closed it. Later down the road, the festoon went out and I ignored it since I wasn't really needing the light. When I finally went to replace the bulb it ended up staying on for a few hours because I changed it in the day. I didn't notice that it was on till later that evening when I saw the rear glowing. It would turn off with the switch but not with the hatch glass closing.

i just did this using the trunk light from my old lx sedan . only thing i found off was the trigger wire in the diy says green/black wire, did that and light stayed on. in my 92 vx the right wire was green with silver dots. works great now

There will be slight variations between models and that's why you must always verify all wires with a multimeter.
Thanks for the info!

Just did this yesterday thanks for the write up suspendedHatch, i also had to tap solid green wire with silver dots for the light to work with the hatch opening. I have a 92 cx, just wanted to share because everyone who googles "hatch light install" is brought here.
