Title: Boot micro switch connection
Post by: godsANGER on 19 February 2011, 13:02
oks last week i replaced my knakerd bootlock with a secondhand, the ligth in the boot worked for about 2hours and stopped, so as the replcment boot lock came with a connector i swoped them round and worked again that lasted about 5 days gone to the boot this morning and ligths not working again. So i know it could be down to the locks micro switch but i want to try a NEW connector before i go along the line of replacing the boot lock with a new one.

Been to the car as i found my Clio's old cargo net so thought would see if i could use it with the Golf so opened the boot and . . . lights working now.

SELF FIXING ?  :laugh:

or could it be a lose connection or a damage wire ?

Does it go off with the boot open or does it just sometimes not come on? Probs just a sticking micro switch. Dont know the P.N sorry but cant be too expensive. Have a look in local scrappies, you might get lucky!

intermittent by the looks of it, hopefully its justs the connector with some corrosion in it and not the boot lock  :sick:
