Dodgy boot lock....

Post by JaseS3 » Thu Sep 03, 2009 4:13 pm

hi all,

ever since i bought the car i have had a problem with the boot lock opening at random intervals. it also happens if you touch something in the car, like a button or door handle.

any takers?

No idea - other than you pressing the boot release button on the keyfob, or possibly water in the boot key switch
