Help? Tourer Rear windscreen

Mikeal1 · 4th February 2015, 12:31

Yesterday I changed my rear screen on my router for one with all de misting lines working.

The only problem is, it's now showing that I have a door openImageUploadedByTapatalk1423056634.485891.jpg all the time.

So this morning I swapped back to my old screen, but the light is still illuminated.

Is there something I should know? An easy fix? Something I should have done before changing?

Thanks in advance

The screen closes fine, catch catches as it should.

Although I have never looked at this I suspect as the glass opens separately to the boot they will each have their own sensor. Have checked to loom that connects for damage or a bad connection or even any corrosion?
Wd 40 can be your friend if connection is slightly off, spray a bit on connection and give it a wiggle like we do for airbag light connector

I've tried the WD40, the best I can tell everything lines up as it should.
But you may have hit something with the wiring. My back wiper isn't working.

I've checked all the wiring and can't find any splits. Whilst there I disconnected and reconnected all the plugs. This plugImageUploadedByTapatalk1423062271.126672.jpgmust be for the lock mech, as when I disconnect it the light goes out.
I've cleaned all the plugs but still, the light is there

When you close the glass is the catch closing correctly holding the glass shut. Again I have not looked but I am sure it will be a basic circuit of the boot glass is open then the catch is not touching and breaking the circuit, when the catch closed correctly it completes circuit and light goes out. My next port of call would be to follow that plug wire towards the catch and ensure the catch is operating correctly and securing the boot?

Gave up. Removed fuse for interior lights

It closes as it should. I think every thing is touching as it should, the lock locks and opens fine.
I've been trying for 6 hours, now given up and removed interior light fuse, as the interior lights stay on. I can't lick the car because the alarm sounds after about half hour

Today the light went off, however, it didn't come on at all, even when the drivers door was open.
Then it came on,
Now it's off again.
Bullonks!!!!
