Boot open light stays on the alerts on dash but boot is closed
The boot open sensor light stays on on the dash and I can't figure out how to get it off as the boot is closed and working properly. Any ideas ?

As you have also posted another Intyro, I've moved your question from New Member Area - Intro a MUST to S-Type forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.

I would have that problem occasionally on both the 05 and the 03 if I was mending something in the boot and tried to hang my trouble light on the Hostage-Release T-handle. It was inevitably heavy enough to pull the lanyard, and after buttoning everything up, I'd have the indicator even though the bootlid was well closed. A couple openings/closings (slammings?) with a few joggles of the lanyard in-between has always mended it. Haven't had the problem since the hook broke off my trouble-light.
It's probably your hinge-wiring or switch as mentioned above, but if you have reason to believe someone/something had pulled the lanyard, may be worth a try to futz about with it.
