Replaced autoclose trunk unit issue!?

Hi
I bought a used trunk autoclose vacuum unit as mine was leaking, fitted it and it closes the trunk great on auto soft close, however I get a dash warning telling me the trunk is open ?
I've tried pulling the fuse to see if this resets but no joy?

Does anyone know if I have to get anything reset? Are replacement units plug and play?

Thanks

Busted electric connector in the lock?

It's okay, found it just needed adjustment on the latch. Phew!

What happened to the one you fixed earlier this year? I fixed mine, should I be worried about brittleness all over? WIS gives gap measurements between the trunk lid and the bumper/fenders that I found pose enormous strain on the lock. Did you tighten up just until the red light in the door stays off?
