Boot open malfunction

[kickin'fm]

Hi all,

just started to get this coming up on my dashboard (w209 clk 53 plate).

Stopped the car and checked and all appears in order mechanically.

Checked also and the bonnet release inside seems fine too.

Anyone know if this is a common fault, a pre-cursor to something else or any ideas on how to sort it?

Cheers
David

ps this post should read bonnet open malfunction not boot!

Check the bonnet switch, a wire may be iffy.

its the boot latch, you need a new one basically.
