    I've got a V70 Classic, 2000.
    The dahboard light for open backdoor alert keeps burning.
    Probably the light switch in the backdoor is stuck. Who can tell me where
    this switch is located?
    Or is there another reason?

    Thanks in advance.

    Grettings,

    John

    In the harness that runs through the tailgate hinge has a broken wire or
    wires in it causing your problem if you are a diy person then you can
    repair the broken wires for under $20.00

    The official count is 343, but there was also a volunteer who lost his life
    aiding in the initial rescue efforts. And I will never forget them as
    long as I live,
    nor should any American.

    A fairly common failure. The switch in question is a microswitch, and
    is part of the door lock assembly, and is only available with a new
    lock.

    Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly.
    (But I check the newsgroup more often than this email address.)
