    BMW E46 2001 - Cabriolet boot open warning and hood not working - Fixed # Archived Message

    Posted by Steve Hankinson on February 13, 2009, 8:07 pm

    I've hit a wall with this one that I thought would be an easy fix.

    The car was presented with the hood not working but noticed the 'boot open' telltale on the dash.

    Stripped boot lid and found 4 wires at catch.
    1. Earth
    2. Goes live when you press release button to open catch
    3. ?
    4. Goes earth when catch opens.

    Boot light operates normally.
    Live data in ZKE with Autodiagnos shows trunk open permanently

    Have fitted new catch
    Have removed loom grommet to boot lid at both ends and pulled hard on each individual wire. No breaks.


    Thanks for any help

    Steve
