156 boot light repeater doodaa
 

hi all,

156 has decided to say the boot is open when it isnt! checked the switch,
and the loom, still the light on the dash glows, keeps setting the alarm off
as well,

any clues please

Gary

Used to have this as well.
Although you think the boot is closed, the lock usually misses the second
"click".
A good firm push will do the job, otherwise you'll have to re-adjusted.

thanks, have already adjusted the boot lock and checked the microswitch,
bent it out a smidgen to see if that would work (it didn't)

just had another play,when I open a door all the doors on the display light
dimly and pulse, when all the doors are closed the boot repeater flashes ,
bit more than a stuck switch me thinks

What happens when you open the boot and only close the lock (fully, so pass
the second halt as well)
Does the light go out? Does the alarm function?
