i wouldnt worry to much, if it was the otherway round i would, (could be the result of another comon mk4 golf fault) as you alarm wouldnt lock/arm properly and go off.i would say its probably the switch unit which is built into the latch unit its self, ill have to find out wether the light works indipendantly of the unit 1st, if it does the switch may be faulty, or (another thought) your car dosnt have this feature???

my mk4 20v gti hasnt got this feature to tell me when the boot is open??

Gaz :cool:
