Firepuma Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Started to be intermittent now it's perma try saying the truck/hatch is open. Needless to say I can't arm my alarm (it'll keep going off if I do) and the light stays on the dash saying the trunk is open. This a harness issue or a latch issue? Anyone have any advise or had a similar experience? Shed me into the light- Cheers in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nouse4aname Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 In my gti that was just a symptom of the latch needing to be adjusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13fido13 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Check your tailgate wiring. Probably cracked wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yep, I'll bet it the wires too. Wagon are know to have issues where the wires go from the hatch to the body. I had 5 wires repaired on the passenger side by my buddies body shop. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

Max Capacity Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 NO, you won't like the price or the labor. Find a good body shop and have them check the wires, or a good repair shop.
