Read evidence and context

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.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suspected cause
Probably a faulty microswitch on the hood latch mechanism.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello all, I have a 40th anniversary edition 911, and am having some possible issues with the frunk. If I walk up to the car, unlock it with the remote, then open the trunk to put groceries in (for example), the alarm will arm itself after about 30 seconds while the trunk is still open. Then when I shut the trunk, the car thinks someone is breaking in so it sets off. Is this normal? For the alarm to set itself even with the trunk open? Or is there a sensor or switch that has gone bad or something? Thanks for any help!

POST 2Original post

Probably a faulty microswitch on the hood latch mechanism. Not to difficult to access and replace.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thank you! Do you have a parts list i could check, or part number?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks! So number 9 I am assuming? Is there a way to test the switch before I go throwing money at it? What would the test procedure be? Open/close the hood and check continuity?

POST 6Original post

Yes thats basically the test but just expose the switch and operate it with your finger.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you! Ill try to get to this today or tomorrow...

Thats the one. I would just replace it. These things can sometimes get a lot of wear for daily driven cars, and since the switch, lock, spring, and latch mechanism are all included in that one $150 part, you don�t want something else to break, leaving you with the inability to open the frunk at the most inopportune time. It isn�t just the ice cream cake you might need to get at, it�s also the battery.
