i press but no clicky clicky.

have had to revert to the "manual" opening method.

any ideas what it could be? which fuse is it, cant find it in the diagram in the owners manual, but the all obvious ones that i checked seemed ok.

how do i get to the electrics that power the latch?

any info greatfully recieved.

Cheers
Custard

Custard, I had this on my Tuscan. Was working then intermittent then stopped altogether. Was alledly due to moisture (water) gettign into the switch and had to get dealer to replace it - circa £15 I think. New switch was great - only moderate pressure opened boot every time, which was a nice change from keeping a censored handy for the alternative solution!!

A little too graphic!

Yep same with mine, either needs a good spray and continous pressing to kick it back to life or a new switch. I also had a couple of extra gromets fitted into badge stalks to make it a little more proud.

I had the same problem with mine a few months back, very annoying when you pull into a petrol station with everyone staring you go to open the boot and nothing happens mad drive out again with everyone thinking what a strange bloke.

In my case the rubber seal on the boot lid had moved causing it to stick I just peeled it away and stuck it back to where it was supposed to be, been fine since.

Might not be the same problem but worth a check.

me too, it was going a bit slow, so I just held it down and let it operate about 20 times, which seemed to do the trick. I guess it was seizing up!

Reminder to use it more!
