24V Renshaw 0 Posted January 2, 2004 In the lock assembly if I remember rightly. Hope that helps J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted January 2, 2004 I'm pretty certain that it's in the springy press thing that opens the boot slightly when you unlock it and press the release. It's on the bootlid anyway, about 1cm diameter black plastic sprung thing... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted January 2, 2004 They corrode quite bad. I bought one for my MK3 Golf which cost a daft £5 odd. You can replace the switch on its own. The wires could be broken in the rubber tubes that feed the wires ou of the boot lid? Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is as you say, merely to keep the boot off the latch whilst you open it. G60 renshaw is correct, it's in the latch mechanism. K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slimtim 0 Posted January 4, 2004 Indeed it is in the locking mechanism. There's mention of it in the Bentley manual. Anyhow the reason I ask is because with the boot light connected, I get a flat battery in a couple of days. I'm 100% sure that the light is going off with the boot closed (back seats down and check) but I was wondering whether a dodgy switch could cause a current leak. A friend has the same problem - has anyone had similar? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get a multi meter out and check the current drain with the light bulb in and out, that will tell you if its the light. could be a duff battery though!!
