Title: Boot opening switch question
Post by: powerslinky on 28 September 2014, 10:20:55
Hi all
         '53 plate 3.2 elite . . .  boot will not open with dash switch . ~have allowed the usual 3-4 seconds & still no workie :'(

tried with ingition on & off   & with key removed . .  still not working.

Boot opens fine with key fob  . . but not from switch .   Have checked fuse 7  & all ok

Any ideas where to look next . . .  possibly another fuse ?

TIA    Al :y

EDIT:    as this is my project car  . .  I am not sure if it has ever worked from the dash  :-\

Reckon you'll have to start metering out wires from switch to Alarm ECU.  Its likely the problem isn't beyond the alarm ECU.
