After few weeks of the "Boot Lid Open" message and the hazard lights failing to flash upon locking the car, I finally remembered to do some research on what to repair/replace on my S40 to make this go away. Thanks to the original poster of this thread, I found it most useful and it quickly pointed me in the right direction. I Found that the signal cable from the normally open contact on the boot lock mechanism was severed where it entered the rubber duct from the lid. I also noticed that the insulation on a second wire was brittle and damaged in 2 places. I decided to repair the damaged cables instead of replacing the loom, and I am pleased to say that due to this thread I have fixed my car. Well, this fault anyway. Plenty of other quirks to sort out yet but I'm on the way. Cheers G.
