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.

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?
