My boot lid light is on on a dash, even though its securely shut! Where the hell is the switch, as its only a loose wire, cos it goes out intermitantly! I cant seem to find it :(

Cheers

Fat lot of help you lot was! ;)
I ordered a boot lock mechanism, cos it holds the microswitch for the light. BUT, got home tonight and took my old one apart, and it still didnt help. I got my girlfriend to sit in the car and look at the dash, and I eventually found that it was a bad earth near the light cluster on the passenger side!

So now you know ;) Check those earths before parting with the cash :slap:

only just saw this, but could have told you the microswitch was in the lock... :slap: bet it cost you around £100 then, well, if bought new

have you tried to take it back to where you got it from mate? got to be worth a try, as long as you can re package it so it looks unused ;)

should've asked me mate would've cost you £10 plus postage,

Glad you got it sorted though,

Gary,

It would of been £135 + VAT from the stealers, but I got one from the local breakers for 35, BUT, I got me money back, so all was ok :)

Cheers guys
