I was having he same issue since the day I bought my 2017 F3 Limited. I raised the clip a bit and BINGO no more open error. It was so annoying, I like looking at the trip 1 odometer and that darn orange warning was always there. I am so excited - thanks!

A short piece of black heatshrink tubing over the pin in the lid, maybe 30mm/1.25" long. After shrinking it and it's cooled off, trim to about 1/4" past the pin.
A quick & easy fix, end of problem.

I redid mine because the earplug was wearing out. I found some heat shrink tape that came with my XK Chrome lighting kit and used that but your post was the insperation. Thanks.

Rays hell has the correct fix. Slip something under the switch to raise it a tad. I used a pile of little squares of electrical tape I cut with a scissors - maybe 6 ply. Then slipped them under the switch and pressed down to make it stick better. With the high brake light still off, I lowered the lid to check and the switch is pushed farther, making perfect contact. Although the second photo shows the switch removed from its holder, there's no need to do so, just lift it a little and insert shimming.
