Ford Fiesta 2010 Will Not Open Boot When Doors Are Opened With The Remote

I have a Zetec 2010 when you operate the remote control to open the doors the boot does not unlock. I can only open the boot with the boot unlock button on the remote by pressing twice, pressing the open door button on the remote used to open the boot also.

    That will be the boot switch itself. It is between the number plate lights.

    I got mine from a local Ford dealer but can't remember how much I paid.
