Is there a part number on that label??

Might have to go to the dealer, and have the parts guy look it up.

Unfortunately the dealer was unable to help specifically, The only thing they could do was change the entire tail light not just the part below. The model # i gave is that tail light. The model # in the picture unfortunately was unsuccessful in locating a part. I'm hoping someone has had a similar issue and can shed light on the actual part # for the trunk release piece.

Yes it is the button with the corresponding electrical line. There is a bracket that is supposed to go with it to hold in place. The 3rd picture is the exact piece.

Ok, after some serious searching.... and not finding..... Turns out, that it appears that the switch only comes with that entire lamp assembly.... for almost 400 bucks..... Ouchie.

If you are still having an issue fixing the trunklid button bracket, I have developed a ABS plastic one that will hold the button in place Will not rust away like original Let me know

Did you create 3d print of the bracket because I was in the process of making one but if you already have it designed that would save me some time 😂

Here is the ABS clip I designed and printed out. I developed this after using an aluminum strap to fix my son's car. This ABS bracket is a replacement for the steel factory bracket that rusts. I sell these for $50 which includes shipping within the U.S. Big savings compared to the $1000 plus they want for the light bar. Trying to help out when Dodge won't.
Thanks
