After topping my car up with oil, I closed the bonnet and the bonnet open warning light stayed on...Now the warning light is constantly on even though the bonnet is shut! Any help please!!
-
the bonnet catch sensor is part of the bonnet release mechanism. If faulty, you need to get the entire mechanism replaced.
Are you under warranty?
-
The warranty has expired :sad: how much would this be to replace?
-
dunno. I've heard this happen to other people but it's been during the warranty period, hence not charged. Best to ring up local dealer and ask.
-
I think you can stop the warning light coming up if you disconnect the bonnet catch wiring, although you will need to replace the part as the microswitch seems to be a weak point.
I had to do mine earlier this year.

Just had it replaced....£75!!! :sick:
