Hi everyone, new DB9 owner here. My 2005 DB9 sometimes gives me a "Boot Open" error even though the boot is closed. I checked and when it's closed, there doesn't seem to be any remaining play in the boot top (it doesn't rattle or move). What should I adjust or fix to remedy this issue?

Car has only 5700k miles on it, though I don't expect that matters.

 

I had an intermittent false "Trunk Open" message for a couple of months. Replaced the trunk latch assembly (6G33-31253052-AA) and haven't had a problem since.

It's a fairly easy DIY and the part is about $100 USD delivered from the UK.

There's nothing to adjust, so it's most likely a failing microswitch/sensor.

 

Thanks! I did a search before buying the car and someone said there was an adjustment to make, but no matter how much I search I can't seem to find that thread anymore. Anyone know if there are any adjustments before I go replacing the latch assembly?

 

Here's on old thread with no resolution reported: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...n-warning.html

Having had it apart I'm pretty sure there's no adjustment possible, unless you're going to make up shims or something.

The assembly bolts into place with very little play.

Thank you! I'll have to take apart everything to give it all a good look.
