    Trunk warning light

    Hello everyone so i have a little problem with my e46 the trunk warning light in the dashboard is always on. So i googled the problem and everyone said is the cables at the trunk i did check the cables and wich one was a bad i rewired but the light still comes up. The trunk works perfectly. What could be the problem what should i check next?

    Trunk wiring is bad. Common problem. The wires break in the hinge inside the rubber bellows and short out against each other. You probably have some non-functioning lights on your trunk as well.
