Bonnet Switch

Dubstar · Feb 23rd, 2011, 20:41

In a nutshell, where's the bonnet switch on a 1997 V40 please? As soon as I turn on the alarm it starts to go off, so I was going to check the bonnet switch as advised but can't find it! Or where should it be as it may have fallen off?

Remove the 3x 10mm bolts that hold on the bonnet catch mechanism. Its clear to see then!

Enjoy!

The bonnet switch is mounted behind the bonnet catch, it is easily recognisable by the shiny strip of metal that operates the switch when the bonnet closes.
