Trunk Warning Light

[onedude]

The trunk warning light comes on intermittently after an hour or so of highway driving in my 2003 Boxster. Any ideas?

Hmm, do you mean the "trunk open" lamp? The microswitch in the back by the latch is probably failing. You can replace the latch, or try to take it out and clean the contacts (will probably work).

"Trunk Open" is exactly what I meant, thanks. I'll have a look at the switch you mentioned; could it be in front as well? Thanks very much for the reply!

I'm not 100% sure on the 2003, but I would guess you would have the same situation on the front and/or rear trunks...
