Hi,

The boot release on my Dads 2.2 CD facelift (with cruise fitted  ) has stopped responding to both the boot release key fob button and dash boot button.

Last week he mention that his boot (and courtesy light I think) did not work.  After investigation I found a few broken wires in the wiring loom that runs up the LHS of the boot hinge, which appeared sliced by the very hard and brittle black plastic tape.  I re.made the wires, and changed the blown fuse (fuse 7 - 30A I think) and all worked a treat.

A couple of days ago however he mentioned that the electronic boot release has stopped working  and has to resort to fumbling for the manual lever by reaching in from the back seats 

Would this be fuse ?, or perhaps one of the remaining wires (not obviously broken from last fix by the boot hinge) the prime suspect ?

Thanks in advance to all and happy new year to all on the forum.

Regards,
Andy.

As you've had a fault in that area before, I'd certainly be checking that area again first
