Exactly what it says on the tin... FL2 S 2007 driving me nuts, having to shut the boot everytime I unlock the car!!

Any thoughts or experiences?

Thanks.

This is normally the previously identified issue with the boot door switch (the bit you press under the handle).

The two options are:

1) take apart the boot handle and clean the microswitch
2) take apart the boot handle and replace the microswitch with a new switch (ebay have them)


This is a sticky topic explaining how to do it:

I had the same issue - I locked the car and repeated pressed the button under the handle (which is a microswitch behind the rubber) many times and mine seems to be ok now. 2002 Honda VFR800

Thank you Simon, I will have a look at this then.

Rather an ST service bulletin

I just thought rather than taking the whole rear door to bits I would try and see if some subtle persuasion would clean the microswitch even to a small amount - seems to have worked (for now) but I imagine I will have to strip the door handle to do a proper clean at some point. 2002 Honda VFR800
