Boot release switch
« on: 30 May 2010, 09:24:54 »
The switch inside the car to open the boot (saloon) does not work. It opens O.K. with key fob and the switch even illuminates when it is open. Is this just a faulty switch or could there be some other reason.

I would suggest it has to be switch or its associated wiring.  A meter should confirm.

I have a spare switch should you want me to make measurements....

Everything else works. Would a duff lock still open with the key fob button.

Whether unlocked via fob or via switch, the very same ECU actuates the very same motor, which rules out motor and associated wiring

There is only one type with an electric boot release on Omegas (though the ECUs vary, the principle is the same). All other simply lock/unlock boot with central locking :y

m8's one the pin had gone and could open with key fob but not switch could hear it clicking, tuck it out and the shaft in the lock was bent, there was a dif of power from opening all doors to just opening the boot just 3volts dif, changed the lock and worked fine after that.

Have you tried holding switch in for 5 seconds. Instantaneous press will not release the boot

Yes, I've tried all these things. It's def a fault of some kind, probably switch, so I'll look there first.
