Did you plug the bonnet switch in?
Unplug it and try to lock. don't close the bonnet, we might end up back to the "flat battery and cant get in" 🤔

I did all ways. Unplugged, Went to sleep, bonnet open and wouldn't lock, bonnet open and switch pulled up, went to sleep, boney down, went to sleep.
Currently left with the amp clamp on and bonnet closed, see if the alarm goes off in the next 30 min and i can look at the amp drain
It's not accurate for parts of an amp but good enough for this test i think (only goes to 0.1a)

Thank you!! I would never have figured that out!! 🫣

Switch tested and works just fine. Open loop when closed or pulled fully open.

Need to see if it goes open loop when the bonnet is shut, or if the bonnet catch needs adjusting to pull the bonnet down more

Just come back to this.
When I checked mine (cos of you) I pulled my switch up and it seemed to click (thought nothing of it), I wonder if its a test position or a position to be able to test other things with the bonnet open 🤔.

Anybody else with an L322 want to go out and see if when they open the bonnet they can pull it up and feel a slight click that then doesn't show bonnet open on the dash.

It's to simulate'bonnet closed' when you're working on the car. It's the same on bmw cars (it's a bmw switch)
 
The battery I've taken out is now fully charged and I've just done a drop test on it.. just under 11v and holding, which is good.

Can a failing battery pass a drop test?
 
Yes, the battery in my partner's Disco TDV6 was holding up well at 11 volts but wasn't enough to hold the low volts relay in. New battery fitted, problem solved. Old battery is now on our 24v 100kv/H genny set! It starts the old AEC engine nicely No low volts relay on there. :)

On my P38, I did a shopping run no problem. An hour later I had to go to the airport to pick up guests who would be staying in my Gite. The battery was as flat as a pancake, it would not even jump start. It was battery sudden death syndrome, new battery sorted it. Guests had to get a taxi!

I had 2 Varta batteries that failed as soon as winter set in, wouldn't even start my micro tractor. The Hankook has been on the P38 since July 2012. They do not respond well to being left under charged, mine are on solar chargers at all times when not being driven. I have Hankook batteries in 4 cars and a lawn tractor.
