Hi all
Has any one had the bonnet open warning come up even when there is no issue.
Thoughts on how to fix or is this another steeler run?
Thank you in advance

Common issue with the bonnet switch - a search will turn up many threads, may need a tweak or replacement. 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!

Switch is under bonnet latch on the drivers side.
Probably grease and dirt stopping switch lever from moving.
Mine cleared with a good spray of WD40 or RP7.
Otherwise replace switch.

The casing of my switch was cracked allowing it to move. Superglue fixed it.  “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Bonnet switch fixed
Did as suggested, removed, unplugged and cleaned.
One extra thing I did was re-tension little spring steel cam.
Works a treat  D3V8
