Hood/boot open light?

The light that indicates that the hood and/or boot is open, stays on as long as my car is on. When I turn my lights on, it flashes.

Is there anything I can do about this? Thanks...

check the two latches/switches. They work a lot like a door switch for your dome light, could be that one is sticking.

Try opening and slamming your boot/bonnet again. Make sure they are closed. I do this to my '08 every once in a while, I swear I closed it but then trying it again seems to fix it right.


Or maybe we can blame Chesty

Oh, lordy. Two gyreens bumping chests and Ooh Rahing.
It's ok, guys. My best friend is a retired Marine (somebody had to take him under their wing) and I've got him to the point where we can take him out in public now -he even gave me a MC hat, but I wear it backwards so I don't scare the women and children. Keep up the good work, from an old doggie.
