trunklid open message
I am getting the trunklid open warning message on the dash however the window is closed. Can anyone thee me where the switch is so i can adjust it? If the switch is bad can I bypass it by tying the wires together?

Thanks

sometimes the trunk looks closed but you have to open and close it a little harder. that does the job for me always

This usually happens when the outer stops are adjusted too far out to try to stop the rattle... probably adjusted out too tight.
