Deck lid warning
I thought this meant the trunk, but can't seem to get it to stop. Close trunk, light goes out. Hit a small bump, light comes back on again. I have tested the function of the latch and all seems fine. I'm a Porsche novice.

It is as described - the engine compartment lid and not the trunk. Sounds like a microswitch needs adjusting. After a bump and illumination of the light, is the lid actually unlatched?

Since you happen to be in the same place as me, any recs for a good shop?

If you can adjust the micro switch....adjust it. If not adjust the lid so it sits tighter or replace the micro switch. Not rocket science and defiantly worth a trip to a shop. One of my cars has a hood switch that triggered the alarm. 2 minutes to adjust it back in place and no more alarm.
