boot button not working

[mistermagoo]

Hi peeps i had a flat battery and had to do the emergency boot opening thing, ever since i have done that the boot release button has not worked ?? any suggestions pm me if you think your reply might highlight the emergency proceedure

Hmmmm, only thing I can offer is maybe the solenoid has gone. Dnt think the emergency opening would have killed it so it may well have packed up.

Thanks for the reply, it just seems strange that it went at the same time as i had my fingers prodding around looking for the secret thingy??

Time to check where you were prodding. You might have pulled something loose or jammed something.

Also worth checking fuse ! Think its the same one as elec mirrors so if they are not working its time to do a head stand in the passenger footwell and swap the fuse.
Hope this is a quick fix answer !

My fuse blew today actually! When I did the solenoid I made do with replacing the blown one with a 7.5 (closest there was amongst the fusebox-mounted spares). IIRC it should be a a 10amp and it's (again, IIRC!) the 6th fuse in from the right.
