Hi there does anyone know if the boot light on a skoda Octavia Estate Should be on permanent when doors open?

I'm sure the lights only comes on when the boot is open and if left open for a long period they turn off to save the battery from draining

hi there it comes on when boot closed and not locked is this right?

do you get a warning light on the dash when it's on??

Mine comes on when the boot door is opened - goes off when its closed. At night you can tell when it goes off from outside by looking at the top of the rear lights. They look slightly illuminated when on!

Don't think that would be acceptable.

thanks everyone could explain why door light on dash is on too, will have a look at switches in boot, thought door light on dash was on because o/s door light don`t work thought fault there.

I'd guess the wiring circuit is the same as the saloon. I had trouble with mine. You can either pull the plug off the switch under the boot panel, or adjust the boot latch bar.

On the saloon, to adjust the latch bar, there's an inspection panel which just pings off, and there's a couple of either torx or star drive bolts which you can loosen to move the latch bar. It's just a case of finding the right position. Too loose and the boot will rattle, too tight and the latch bar won't activate the switch.

It's pretty easy... Good luck

thanks everyone i got a new boot catch and it solved the problem.
