[SIZE="3"]Greetings....OK, my central locking all works OK but I cannot access the boot.
The electronic opening switch doesn't respond. Is there a trick to bypassing this in emergencies? Cheers, |

Apparently not - from the WSM:
The liftgate/luggage compartment lid latch is a mechanical latch with a electric motor to drive the latch release. The liftgate/luggage compartment lid latch has no remote mechanical release facility. I'm guessing the boot doesn't have a key hole either... You could try accessing it through the fold down seats.

I have looked in behind the seats....not a lot of room to manuevre. I wonder if I can supply a separate electrical connection to see if the drive motor is active? I have been through all the fuses which seem OK....as I said, the rest of the locking system works fine. |

You possibly could. The wiring schematics are in our technical portal - if you are lucky the wiring runs down the sill and not through the roof lining and you could easily enough tap into it.

OK. I've had a quick look and the page you want is 501-14-00-17.
The wire colours at the switch are Black with a Yellow Stripe and plain Black. All the switch does is bridge the two together as per the snippet below. It's also powered by Fuse 72 which powers the central locking. ![]() Cheers Russ

Have just checked mine and I think you can hook out the rubber boot on the boot switch and power up the switch and see if that works, please let us all know as I am now concerned about my boot operation
