koffertfisk Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Hi all, First time poster here. Our Focus Mk 2 (2009) no longer unlocks/releases the boot whenever the car gets unlocked (with neither fob or key). The only way to unlock it is with the fob's boot unlock button and whenever the boot closes, it gets locked and requires unlocking again using the fob's boot button. I've checked the tailgate boot switch for corroded/cut wires but it doesn't seem to be the source of the problem as they all seem okay. It seems like the boot thinks the car is locked, so I suspect a cut wire/short-circuit somewhere; not sure where to look though.

unofix Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Hello Marcus, welcome to the Ford Owners Club The problem maybe with the BCM (Body Control Module) / fusebox in the passenger footwell. There is a known problem with water getting in to the connectors of the BCM and causing corrosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenFord Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Also worth replacing the boot unlock button - very common problem and as cheap as chips! Click here to see replacement... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
