GT Bootlid Switch

[schell70]

Took the GT for a blast today and noticed my intermittent bootlid switch had stopped working completely (have to use the dash switch).

So, had a quick look, undo the 2 self tapper's - pull the switch unit out and noticed that the rubber had pushed in. Re-seated the rubber and then saw that the cables to the microswitch had worn insulation and were shorting - so, moved the wires a bit and stuck some insulating tape on - screwed it back in and voila!

5 mins and now I have a working bootlid switch again......love it when it's easy!

I had a similar thing on mine. Not working at all when I got it, and I was dreading an issue. But as you did, removed it and found the rubber had dislodged and was jamming the switch in the open position. Nice easy fix.

Same on mine.
