Boot Light Problem

[v3rdino]

Hey guys
Gotta abit of a problem with my 97 cxi civic boot light staying on in the cluster. However the problem in this is that is screwing up my alarm and just today i was driving and my boot actually flew open. i have checked it over and over and slammed it shut as well as i can, however it continues to flicker on and off. i think the problem may be electronic as i know my ground wire for the my amps are connected underneath the boot. Any suggestions

thanks Guyz

well if your boot just flew open it sounds like its your mechanism. The actual mechanism may be stuffed or the little pulley thing next to the driver may have a faulty wire.

yer thats what i thought at first, but the light flickers on and off. if there was a mechanism problem wouldnt it just stay on?

does it happen when ur car has been out in the rain? is there a build up of water near the rubber seals i?

[v3rdino]

nah it has been flickering on and off since i got my system installed, no matter wat the whether

maybe one of the live wires from your sysyem is touching something that it shouldn't??

happened to my eg as well... turned out to be a short fused just behind the rear seat
it was screwing up my alarm as well.. doors wouldn't lock cos it thought a door was open... took it to an electronic car place, fixed it for $20
