Andy T 0 Posted June 24, 2004 Just got an interior boot light & bulb, as it never had one when i bought it. problem is, it doesnt seem to turn off when I close the hatch - where is the plunger switch on the tasilgate? I can't find one anywhere! Cheers, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazzyvr6 0 Posted June 24, 2004 its incorparated into the locking mech itself,thats probably why they took the bulb out as it would set the alarm off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy T 0 Posted June 25, 2004 Cheers, now I know! So does that mean you cant have a auto boot light with an aftermarket alarm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazzyvr6 0 Posted June 25, 2004 ive not had a boot light for about 2 years now,and ive got a standard fit alarm fitted,you could try putting some oil down the latch and open and close the boot a few times to see if it cures it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted June 25, 2004 I've got an aftermarket alarm AND my boot light works fine... 8) The problem is that the switch sometimes "leaks" slightly when it's aged a bit, and alarms don't like a current leak anywhere on the car as they see it as someone opening a door and so set the alarm off... :roll: When you take the bulb out you loose the way for the current to leak and sort the alarm problem... it's a bodge cure instead of replacing the switch which (I'd bet) is gonna be expensive knowing VW... :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
