    Default minor check control issue

    owner's manual states that a chime and warning indication of "trunk lid open" is displayed on the check control panel when you first drive off with it open. My 95 525i does not seem to do so. Anyone with advice on what to check? I supsect it may be a trunk related switch.

    Thanks,

    Default Thanks- the manual indicated the feature

    However, I have found owner's manuals for all vehicles to be a bit "dated"at times. I do have the '"door open" indication on the check panel when door is open and I start moving.

    Default Trunk lights work.

    Not sure if this year even has the trunk open feature.
    Also not sure what mechanical or electrical switch activates the warning. Perhaps there is some sensor that checks when the car is moving that the trunk is open/closed.

    I appreciate anything you can find out.

    My manual does not state which door. I would assume all doors.

    Default Just open each door (one by one) a bit and ...

    release the breaks to let the car go a little, the warning should pop up inmediatelly. Then you will know wich doors trigger the warning.

    Default open trunk will not activate warning, but doors do?
