Intermittent boot open warning issue

[James Freeman]

Hi, my '58 fiesta titanium has recently developed an intermittent issue with my boot. As I drive I get the warning beep and text on the display saying that the boot is open, it come on then goes off, then comes back on. This will happen through the whole journey - it's driving me insane!

Today, I parked my car at work and no sooner had I locked the car and walked out of the car park the alarm started. I've tried opening and closing the boot to try and get it to think it's shut (dispite it actually being shut).

ive googled this and some people have mentioned that their boots actually open whilst driving, whereas mine just seems to warn me that it's open.

I want to sell the car and wondered if I can take it apart to get to the switch and clean it up at all if water ingress is causing this issue?

Many thanks

just try replaceing the switch with a 2nd hand one from scrap yard or eBay and see if it sorts out the problem
