JimS8 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Since a recent journey when I perhaps slightly over-packed the boot, the "boot open" warning stays on all the time even though the boot is firmly shut. Also the alarm does not seem to set when I lock the car using the remote (the indicator lights don't flash and the red lights on the doors don't blink). I gather from the manual that that happens if the boot is not shut. In addition none of the lights inside the boot come on when I open the boot (which seems contrary). Can anyone suggest what the problem is? I'd be grateful for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xaddiction Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Give it a blast with some wd40 and a few firm slams shut. It may just work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimS8 Posted February 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Thanks, I have tried that, but it hasn't solved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsYcHe Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 if I remember rightly, that's all in the boot lock mechanism itself, might be worth looking in the back there to see if the connectors have came loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimS8 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 The problem was the micro-switch in the boot lock mechanism. I replaced the part for about £35 and now all is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
