Theres a boot open light?

You mean the light in the actual boot itself? I was sitting in my boot not only 2 days ago and thought wow that light doesn't go out for a while. Lost track of time before I looked back and it had turned off.
How long did you wait for it to go out?

[john_k_sri]

No, I think he means the rear numberplate light. It stays on for 5 minutes IIRC. Same time interval as for boot auto-locking (on the pre-facelift).

Swear its longer...
Probably just zoning out.

Theres a boot open light?

Yes, in the speedo housing. Earlier Vectra's had it in the rev counter display, a picture of a car showing the relevent door or boot open. Later Vectra's had two lights, one for the doors, the other for the boot.
