dm8660 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Just recently had the "boot open" warning lamp showing on the dashboard despite the tailgate being fully shut. Suspect micro switch on the latch! Any suggestions and or is this switch replaceable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie eastwood Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Could also be the wires in the shroud between the tail gate and body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulkp Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Looking at the image, unlike the door switches (one of which I have changed recently on our Fusion) it looks like you may be able to access the connector and test the microswitch, or short out the cores going back to simulate the hatch being shut.
