Last night my alarm went off twice, just after I got home.
Then this morning the warning light for boot/bonnet open came on when I started up and would not go off (even after opening and closing doors and boot/bonnet twice).
Strangely, when i came home from work, no sign of the warning light - any thoughts or do i have a ghost (hopefullt friendly).
I had the same problem a while back. I had slightly unscrewed the rubber block's that are fitted to the tailgate to stop it rattling but had unscrewed them a wee bit too far. This fooled the sensor into thinking that the tailgate was not properly closed. I screwed them back a half turn and all was well. Even if you haven't touched yours it might be worth a wee look if you can't find any other cause.
Gary,
Where's the sensor ? I probably knocked this when washing and polishing the car on Saturday.
DNV - I think the sensor is mounted in the boot latch itself so you must be doing some extreme polishing to bump it!
I dunno where the sensor is, I suspect Wul is right though. You may have moved the rubber bumpers on the inside of the tailgate though.
