Tufty the Tyke Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Hi, I have just got a 2003 Fusion 3 and am very happy with it, apart from the boot doesn't open with either the remote button on the dash or the remote key. It will only open when physically using the key. Has anyone got any clues please? Thanks Keith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubby1959 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 In the boot there is a solenoid that operates the remote functions for both the dash button and the remote button, I would suggest you try there first. It could be as simple as a detached/broken wire or the solenoid has had it's day and needs replacing. Of course it could also be that the fuse had blown.

Tufty the Tyke Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hi Hubby, apologies been away and just picked it up. Thanks, it does look like the solenoid plunger that is sticking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion1.6tdci Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Likely the part has had it, I replaced mine with an old Fiesta part. Easy fit and going strong 2yrs on. Saved £40 on dealer price too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
