Title: Boot stuck, unable to open via the fob...
Post by: chowgar on April 02, 2015, 09:54:30 pm
Ok guys.... went to open the boot the other day and couldnt... there seems to be no signal or latch sound from the lock mechanism and I'm having to go through the rear seats to open the boot... had a little look aftertaking the boot trims off but other than loking for loose wires not really sure what else I'm looking for... anyone have any ideas or can shed some light on how I test to see if there is power to the mechanism and if I need to look at the loom?

cheers for any help guys..

No one have any ideas... Does the mk5 have an actuator or relay I can't see one looks like it may be built into the lock latch???
