installing the rclick devise today i round teh boot light under the carpet lol i didnt even know i had one... BUT supprise supprise it dosent work lol does anyone know why ? my interior light fuse went today so will replace it tomoz but that wouldnt be the reason would it as im sure there not connected... maybe its a common problem ?. also not sure if its connected but i dont get the boot light on my dash saying the boot is open either, i did for about a week after my crash (thats how i discovered it lol) but its gone now... any ideas ???

They may be on the same fuse from memory. As said in a post earlier, the boot light on the dash and the boot light are controlled by a microswitch in the lock mechanism for the boot. Its a replaceable part and often fails. Look to pay around 8-10 quid for it from a dealer.

ahhhhhh is it a rear bumper off job ?...

cheers for this

Nope. Just unscrew the two bolts that hold the lock in on the boot lid and there is a wire plugged into it. Unplug this and carefully pull the microswitch out of its holder.

nice one ill get it done tomorrow.

Where exactly under the carpet are these connections located?
