Re: "TAILGATE OPEN" WARNING LIGHT "ON" V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be jon on  Wed Nov 21 02:50 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I had the same problem and was able to "reset" the microswitch by pushing a flat object (ignition key would do) against it. To do it you have push the latch inside the housing to its locked position and then a little bit past that. The latch should touch the microwitch and reset it. I was able to do it several times until got annoyed and dealer replaced it under warranty (or was it a recall?).

Hope it helps.
