Boot open warning light

[pwes]

Hi Guys, following a rear end shunt, we had the indicator on the dash showing the boot (trunk/ hatch) open, even when firmly closed. This is the little diagram of the rear of the car showing tailgate open, which sits to the right of the main warning screen

 

Warning screen was behaving properly when open or closed, it was just the constant warning symbol to the right staying on

 

Car was repaired (well sort of, long story for another day, just NEVER use AD Williams!!!) but warning was still on. 3rd trip after numerous calls to them and now it's not lit, which is great.... except

 

It now doesn't light up when the tailgate is open!  I suspect they've removed the light (probably a major job) or the fuse (if there is one), or just tied the wires together in the boot.

This is on a 2009 370z GT Ultimate, and the user manual doesn't show any lights for the tailgate open.

 

Anyone any experience, clues or suggestions please?   I would love to prove the bodyshop have bodged it (along with other things I can prove they've bodged)

 

Thanks!!

Thats the bonnet open warning light. 

 

Did you have any front end damage? If the bumper was removed its likely that you need to do the pain in the ass button pressing procedure to reset it. If you search on here or google its easy to find, might be worth watching a youtube vid. 

 

That said, if they have removed a fuse or disabled the light you need that sorted first.

OH! So not even related to the rear ender than!

 

The light flicks on now with the ignition sequence, then doesn't reappear if you open the tailgate. Will try opening the bonnet tonight/ tomorrow and check if it still actually works

 

Thanks for your help and identification of the light!!!

 

Cheers
