First post here, I expect many more to follow. I Just picked up a '98.

Need a little help with some dash lights.

The Top light stays on even when the top is closed in the UP position. It appears to be properly latched. This doesn't happen everytime, but most of the time.

The trunk light is on when the car is starter and stays on. Again, the trunk appears to be closed properly. It goes off almost as soon as you start driving, almost like a bit of vibration trips the sensor?

I suspect both problems are caused by some misadjusted sensor. But I am new to these cars and thought the collective brain trust must have experience with this.
