Goodkat Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 If the car is unlocked on central locking then the boot should open by pressing the switch in the bootlid above the number plate, between the number plate lights.

chan1a Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Think it's only the fiestas that have them maybe umm try the back I know with my dads mondeo there's like a rubbery bit on the back that you can push up and the boot opens if that makes sense Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
