I have a Jaguar S Type I have a problem with the boot. On the dashboard it says boot is open and there is a red light on the dashboard showing boot open. The boot is not open, when I open the boot and close again the boot still says open on the dash also there is a red light which will not go off because it says all the time boot open. I am unable to put the alarm on the car as it will not allow me to lock the car. I have noticed when I try to close the boot slowly the red light and the BOOT OPEN notice stops for a second. I have disconnected the battery trying to reset the alarm but it does not do anything, no matter what I do the boot open sign will not go out and the red light stays on. The dashboard Boot Message just Flashes all the time, I am unable to drive the car as it keeps draining the battery if I leave it connected. The boot is shut completely and nothing is causing an obstruction. Is there a boot sensor that may be faulty, and if so can anyone please tell me how to get repaired, as I have to go to work in my car. Would this fault show up in the car management system Please let me know if you can help. Thank you John
The sensor is located and probably built into the boot latch. The sensor is good because the light goes off if you close it slowly. the latch is just worn out with that particular part. Replace the latch. It is not hard to replace if you have a few hand tools.
