  Here, the LED 61 that constitutes the light source is one of the semiconductor light emitting elements, and is an element that generates a smaller amount of heat than a light bulb or the like and does not increase the ambient temperature. There is no increase in temperature. Therefore, the passenger can easily press the button 7 without worrying about the ambient temperature.

  Further, the high-mount stop lamp 6 has an attachment region for the LED 61 having a width L extending in the vehicle width direction at the center thereof, and the button 7 and the base portion 16 are disposed outside the attachment region. Thereby, since the button 7 is in a position where it does not interfere with the lighting area of the high-mount stop lamp 6 (light projected rearward), the button 7 is displayed in the lighting area when the high-mount stop lamp 6 is lit. It is possible to reliably prevent the influence. The base unit 16 incorporates an appropriate output circuit (not shown) that converts whether or not the button 7 is pressed into an electrical signal.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 3, screw holes 16 a and 16 a are formed in the upper and lower portions of the base portion 16, and the upper and lower boss portions are formed so as to extend forward from the rear surface of the translucent lens 62. The screw holes 17 a and 17 a are aligned with each other and fixed with screws 18. Thereby, the base portion 16 is supported by the boss portion 17 on the back surface side of the translucent lens 62. On the other hand, an opening 63a is formed in the portion of the housing 63 that faces the base portion 16, and the harness 19a on the button 7 side is guided to the vehicle interior side through the opening 63a.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, harnesses 19 a and 19 b on the base part 16 side and a harness 20 on the LED 61 side are connected to the substrate 11 and the button 7 (base part 16) of the high-mount stop lamp 6. Yes. Among these, the harnesses 19b and 20 are connected from the housing 63 to the harness 21 routed in the vehicle width direction as shown in FIG. One end of the harness 21 is connected to a light source (not shown) of one tail lamp 5 (see FIG. 1), and the other end is branched to a harness 22 connected to the light source (not shown) of the other tail lamp 5 in the middle. In addition, it is connected to a control unit 23 for controlling auxiliary devices such as the latch unit 3, the tail lamp 5, and the LED 61. Each of the harnesses 19a, 19b, 20, 21, and 22 includes a signal line for performing various controls by the control unit 23 and a power line that supplies power to each auxiliary machine from a power source (not shown). . In the case where a dedicated detection means is provided to detect whether or not the trunk lid 1 has been opened illegally, the detection results of the detection means can be output to the harnesses 21 and 24 to the control unit 23. A signal line may be routed.

  Here, when the trunk 7 is closed and locked and the button 7 is pressed, the operation signal is input to the control unit 23, and the in-vehicle transmission antenna 9 receives the output signal from the control unit 23. A request signal r is transmitted outside the vehicle. When the ID signal i is transmitted from the transmission antenna 8 a of the portable device 8 outside the vehicle in response to the request signal r, the ID signal i is received by the in-vehicle reception antenna 10 and input to the control unit 23. If the authentication of the ID code included in the ID signal i is obtained, the harness 21 is also connected to the harness 24 whose one end is connected to the latch unit 3, so that the harness 21 is provided in the latch unit 3 from the control unit 23. The latch opening signal is transmitted to the motor 31 via the harnesses 21 and 24, so that the motor 31 can be energized.

  The motor 31 starts to rotate by the energization control, and the rotation driving force of the motor 31 is transmitted to the hook 32 in the latch unit 3 so that the hook 32 rotates about the pivot 33. It has become. And by this rotation of the hook 32, engagement with the striker 4 and the hook 32 is cancelled | released, and it can be set as an unlocked state.
