rah^ Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 So as of today my boot button has stopped / works on rare occasions I have tried to get in (59 plate fiesta) Could this be as simple as a small switch thats easy to swap out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 does the boot release on the remote fob? if it does then a new switch on tailgate required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinpetrol Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Mine just went today too on my 2010 fiesta. Seems it is a common problem. Switch costs 28 plus vat from my dealer. i looked for a guide on how to do it. Some say in through the inside of tailgate removing the wiper motor for access but another guy says you can do it easily from outside just gently prising the old one out. cheers vin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinpetrol Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I done mine tonight, right enough it's quite easy from outside . Use rags to keep screwdrivers from damaging paintwork when you prise the old one out . Remove the number plate to make it easier as it does get in the way . Once it's out of the aperture disconnect the wiring plug , connect your new one and push it into place. cheers vin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rah^ Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Cheers guys - I thought my first hunch was right! I'll get onto it this weekend and have it replaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
