My boot doesn't seem to want to open!! It won't pop open if I use the switch or my boot pop on my alarm??
Does anyone know what could be wrong with it? Could it be a fuse or somin??

Got the same problem! I've checked the actuator and its fine. The contact pins are fine too. Any thoughts ppl? :???:

definately check the fuse as the boot solinoid does have 1. if no luck u might have to take it to local auto electrician

My boot wouldn't open when I filled it with expanding foam :grin:

Had to cut the foam away from the locking mechanism.

So that could have got stuck somehow?

How many times folks?! :rolleyes:

Cut the plastic anti-rattle tape away from the boot latch pin.

9 out of 10 Fiesta boot releases prefer working after this mod than any other :wink:

Al, I've tried that already & it still ain't workin-any ideas? Must be the wiring I suppose :???:

Yeah, mine still ain't opening either! :sad:

What fuse would it be, because I had a peep and could find one with the little boot sign one it?? :???:

It could be that as it just seem to be dead!! and I can't even open it with my key!! :sad:

its fuse number 26 for boot release ! if ure boot wont open with the key i suggest taking the plastic panel off the back from inside the car pull the latch to open it the latch may have come off !

Yeah, sounds mechanical in your case Starky.

Zetec, run an earth wire around the various bits an bobs in the boot and the out along the washer tubing and onto the chassis. Your prob sounds electrical (does you de-mister take ages to work properly too??)
