    I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the warning light that comes on that displays the engine compartment as being open, but it's not. I replaced the entire switch(the plunger on the lid) and it still displays open and the car will not go into gear. Any help would be greatly appreciated.....(stranded in Grand Bend, Ontario)

    You could try to shut off the main power for a couple of minutes to see if it resets.

    The plunger is for the third brake lamp, the micro switch is located next to the latch. I have posted this before, you can disconnect the switch to get you going. Be aware that the capote will operate with the deck lid open, so this advise is just to get you to a repair shop not a permanent fix .
