Electric Hood Flashing Light...

[Geoff]

As you know i have just bought a 325i Cab, '89 on a G.

The right hand strut that operates the locking mechanism on the boot is broken and is at most Ԛ£37 from the stealer. My problem is that on the dash on the far left hand side, the light for the hood is constantly flashing. And even though i have reset the servicing lights its still flashing when the engine is running.

This is annoying to say the least and for the time being i have put some gaffa tape over it to block it out from view.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the cause of this is??

Muchos Grazi-ass.

Yes mate where the roof meets the top of the windscreen the roof latch goes down a small whole (drivers side). If u look down the whole the is a micro switch this tells the car that the roof is up and turns off the warning light it may need adjusting so it switches.

Excellent!! Thanks mate.

Yes it works perfectly. Its also had a replacement hood about 18 months ago. Looks like new. Im well chuffed!!

Roll on some decent weather. I was going to be out polishing the wheels but i think i'll give it a miss now, cos its pissing it down!
