Before reading my answer below, please note that you must take correct action to complete our question.

If you do not rate as one of the top three ratings, I do not receive any credit or compensation whatsoever from the deposit you have paid. The higher the rating the better and I strive to provide the best answers that I can.

If you need more information please use the "reply" or "continue the conversation" link, please do not select a low rating - please just ask if you have additional questions.

If you select one of the two left most ratings, this is a negative for me and I am not compensated for my answer, so please reply if you have additional questions.

Also please note that even if you were hoping for more in terms of good news, if you do not provide a positive rating, this PUNISHES me for my honest answer.

Just answer is an honor system. Thank you.



Hello and welcome to JustAnswer BMW,

My name is XXXXX XXXXX it will be my pleasure to assist you today.

Try opening and closing the storage lid again a few times. If no luck, then most likely the sensor for the storage lid, or another, has failed. The fault logs will need to be read from the vehicle to verify, and the failed compnent replaced.

Please use the "reply" or "continue conversation" link if you have further questions. Otherwise please select a positive feedback rating (far right options) so that I may be credited and compensated for the assistance I have provided.

Please do not select one of the two left most ratings - please simply reply if you require anything additional and I will be happy to answer any follow up questions you may have. Thank you and best of luck with your vehicle.

Are these sensors in a spot where I can access them?

The system is not really meant to be worked on at home, no. Plus a special computer is required to hook up to the car and read out info to verify where the fault lies, prior to repairs.

Please use the "reply" or "continue the conversation" link if you require further information. Otherwise please do not forget to leave a positive rating (far right) so that I may be credited and compensated for my answer, thank you.
