Boot lid......................

[Hedgehopper]

Just been out in the garage to get the wheel nut key from the boot, and found that the boot won't release when the dash button is pressed. There is no sound from the region of the boot so guess the solenoid is not working. My question is, can anyone tell me what fuse or relay controls the solenoid? No mention of it in my handbook.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for that Stuart, but before I go down that route (), I was hoping that the problem might be as simple as a fuse or relay.

I do wish this topic wasn't public knowledge.

Fair point Cracked Finger, but all I actually want to know is where or what number is the fuse so I can look there first.

Fair point as well ,,Finger,,, I thought the idea of these forums was to help each other with their problems..
What really pissing me off is people picking holes in every ones conversations Not helping with the problems,,Why not list the fuse number to help the bloke out.. If you really wanted to break in to a car that usually has its roof off & for some reason its on,, a brick is always best,,,

What a bizarre reply, I'll ignore it. I do hope you see my view and edit your posts, asking for help is great, but for sensitive answers I would suggest using the private reply though the profiles.

There were many fuse boxes used in a grif, depending on age. best post your car's age, If it's a 96 like mine I'll have a look in my handbook. Something quick and easy to check is to the left of the passenger seat behind the door is a flap of carpet that can be pealed back to reveal the connectors going to the back of the car. Giving them a wiggle may help.

And what really pisses us off is people who divulge emergency entry information openly on a public forum, never heard of email?



I'm not saying don't help others on the forum, that's what they are here for. But please remember that not everyone that reads these forums is as honest and helpful as you.

A tip for you chaps.
When you do eventually find your fuseboard layout from the half a dozen or so I've read about, copy and laminate it and put it under the passenger side floor carpet.
I've done this and its helped me out more than once.

Hi Alex,

You have a 97 model( for anyone that has the same year), but as said before the fuse panels differ so much, IIRC the relay is probably in the flying loom but think it does all the central locking so if that was faulty then I guess you wouldnt have any central locking. The Fuse is normally a 15A But it covers all the central locking too.

Do you have Steve Heaths Bible as it has a number of different layouts in it. I am guessing yours is probably the same as mine which is the 95-96 version.

I have same as Barreti and A few others and laminated a Fuse panel layout and leave it behind the carpet

Thanks everyone for their help. I have actually done what is suggested in one of the posts, i.e., photocopy the fuse layout, but unfortunately it's locked in the boot! Subsequently I have noticed in the bible that power is taken from the live side of the headlamp flasher switch so will try that fuse first.

I would expect it to be the soleniod ..

[Hedgehopper]

You were right Seasider, it did turn out to be the solenoid in the end. Thanks to the alternative parts list in the 'Griffith Pages' I obtained a new one for £7.99 from Maplins (part no. YD79L).
