Please can someone tell me where the light switch for the engine comparment light is please? As I was locking up the workshop, I noticed that there was light coming through the slats on the boot lid. It was properly closed but the light was still on. I had a hunt around the hinges, latch etc but could not see where the switch is. I assume it has one and that closing the lid should swtich it off? Thanks, B

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.

I’m sure someone more knowledgeable will come along soon to confirm, but I think it’s a micro-switch within the latch itself.
Correct
Glad someone else asked this question, as mine is being intermittent. A follow up question, is the light solely triggered by the micro switch or are other features linked such as headlight usage?
Thanks! However, it might not be the switch. I just read that if the front bonnet is open, the engine compartment light comes on. I haven't had a chance to check, but the bonnet was open at the time I saw the engine compartment light was on. I will report back... B
So, it does! I had the bonnet unlatched (but not open) with the battery on charge and the engine bay light was lit, even though the engine cover was closed. When I fully closed the front bonnet, the engine bay light went out.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
