Ford Fiesta MK7 (2009) - Boot not opening with switch


Recommended Posts

Hi - I had an issue with an incorrect boot open warning and have changed the switch (above the number plate) and the latch (in the tailgate).

Everything was fine for 3 months but now the switch does not work. There is no noise or anything. The boot opens fine when the boot button on the key fob is pushed twice in a couple of seconds. I'm guessing the issue is that no electricity is being passed to the switch but not sure what to do? Any help would be appreciated.

Pull the switch out and check for power to it with a multi-meter. 

If it was a non-genuine switch, it's not uncommon for them to break within a few months.

Thanks. Yes it was non branded but I took the switch apart and tried just connecting it by pushing the button directly.

I’ll get a multi meter and see if I have power.
