I have a light on my dashboard looks like a car with the trunk open but my trunk is closed

Check the switch of the trunk light if it's shutting off when the trunk close. The indicator light on your dashboard says something's wrong. Although the trunk bulb consumes small power when switched on (i guess it's only 5W), but draining out the battery power depends on how long the vehicle hasn't been started to re-charge the battery.

Hello,
The obvious action to take would be to trace down the component that has failed/shorted/ etc and replace it/fix it so the light on the dash goes out properly. If you have done something like this already to no avail then you could try taking out the corresponding bulb in the instrument cluster itself. You may need to remove the cluster but the bulbs tend to come out pretty easily. I never recommend and am not currently recommending anyone ever take out any bulbs in the cluster as it can be misleading especially upon resale. But for daily driving purposes and convenience, ill throw that option on the table.. Hope this helps

Do not panic but instead consider calling a dealer to avoid making any mistakes here.

The trunk lid is not closed tightly enough....or the trunk lid switch is not properly adjusted.
Try closing the trunk lid a little harder once to see if it works,,,or have someone push down hard there while you watch the panel light.


Hopes this helps

Look in your owners manual, see how to replace tail light bulbs. If they are removed from the light assembly and changed from within the trunk, then open the trunk, turn on the lights and pull the bulbs out one by one. You may find that more than one bulb is used on each side for the tail light, and though it looks good from the outside, one could well be burnt out. Read the instructions closely, you may have to turn the light socket 30 degrees or so to pull it out of the asembly.

Believe that is you trunk open indicator light.
Make sure your trunk is closed properly or
you have indicator fault.

Look close at the car on the dash, is one of the doors open? How about the trunk? Fuel filler? Gotta be something like that.

It is part of the latch mechanism.

The trunk should auto close when you manually lower the lid to the almost closed position, but it is NOT designed to open up fully when you hit the trunk release on the key fob, nor when you open the trunk manually using the touch sensitive button under the lip of the trunk.

Sounds like the sensor switch is bad - this is the switch that is pressed down when the trunk/boot is closed. If it's bad, it may not allow the light to turn on when you open the lid, and it also probably isn't telling the dash light that it's closed when it is, which would explain why your indicator light is on. Check to see if it has damaged wires on it, and if not, I'd replace it.
