Hi All,

I have a Volvo S40 2007. About two weeks ago, I noticed all the following things happened at the same time:
(1) Boot lid open message on dashboard (when boot closed)
(2) Lights in the boot are very dim and are on even when the boot is closed
(3) The boot usually doesn't open when I press the boot release catch but does occasionally.
(4) Number plate lights are very dim but get much brighter when I press the boot release catch.

I've seen the posts about broken wires in the wiring loom and have tested the length of this - bending it etc - to see if it fixes the problem - but it doesn't seem to.

Any idea what it is? Is it still likely to be the wiring loom?

Regards,

Mark
