Has anyone had any troubles with their trunk lights coming on and remaining on even when the trunk is clearly closed tightly?

 

There should be a switch on the light that is a little tempermental at times. If you put it in the "off" position, and very slowly move it, you will notice that there is a halfway point that comes before the full "on" position. This will turn off the light when you close the hatch, but turn it on when it's open. Hope this helps.

 

I'm taking about the one on the dash...the little red car with the truck up.

 

Happened on my roommate's '99 GS-R for the door switch. Take it to the dealer and beat them about the head and shoulders until they fix it.

 

I had this problem on my r at first they said that it was something electrical but ofcourse they were wrong and the **** would only go on when I wasn't at the dealer. So I brought it back and it turned out the trunk latch was bad and they had to replace it.

 

eek man...nice caps.

I always give a firm upward tug on my hatch when I close it to ensure that I got it all the way latched. Does yours move at all when the light is on and you tug it?

 

Yeah, he gets pissed off when you mention it, too.

Good thing his car isn't as ugly as his posts...

 

yeah...it's closed, I pulled up as hard as I can.

 

It's the hatch latch... mine stuck closed.

Simple test in Helms... warranty item.

 

Thanks for all the info,new goes on Wednesday.....Warranty item

 

. It is alarm related.

Let me guess you have an aftermarket alarm Hood pin? (When they installed your alarm they tagged the hood pin and trunk pin together to trigger the alarm)

You need to readjust the hood pin to make sure the hood pushes the pin down completely

HTH

 

t....I think you are right.I just put on a Carbon fiber hood.The hood pin is not even hitting it...I will go try that.Thanks

 

other reasons could be....fuel cap not closed tightly, trunk control module, trunk latch , but most probably aftermarket alarm...have the same problem...but you know what...ive noticed if you bring the steering wheel way up...then lean back a little (yes yes almost like the "gangster rice boy look" not quite as far back tho) while your driving...you dont even see it ...but then...its still gona be there haunting you till you get it fixed...hehe good luck

 

It turns out to be the hood pin....thanks eveyone
