Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion

If you still have the problem with the front microswitch the lower latch assembly can be dissamblied and cleaned (part 7 on diagram).

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Got a bit of a strange thing happening, when i brought the car home from the dealer the trunk light would not turn on, i took the bulb out but it was fine, so i figured it would be the fuse. But then, with my trunk open, i open the engine bay lid, and then, my trunk light came on, so it can't be the fuse i guess? When i close the rear lid, the light in the front trunk goes off. WTF? At the same time the light in the rear works as it should. Anybody had a similar issue, or know what it might be? Thanks.

POST 2Original post

Spray contact cleaner on the switch. Activate a couple of times and then spray with wd40. Common issue.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey Eric, I haven't had a chance to look, i have been out of town for work, but tomorrow i will have a look. If it's just the switch sticking then it will be fine, i have no idea though what kind of correlation that switch would have with the one at the rear? That's the only strange thing, but i will post what i find out, thanks for your suggestion.

POST 5Original post

IIRC, the front and rear lid lights are connected, so I think you should also check that the front compartment light is not on when the lid is shut. If the microswitch on the front or rear lid is stuck in the 'open' position, you would expect to hear a single beep when you lock the car. The lower latch (item 7) has a microswitch inside. This will likely need to be replaced.

POST 6Original post

I am pretty sure it will do the trick, I had the exact same issue, front/rear. Might as well do the spray thing in the rear too. I did not but my issue was solved. If you still have the problem with the front microswitch the lower latch assembly can be dissamblied and cleaned (part 7 on diagram).
