Dash Boot Release Button

[Freddiefusion]

Hi. I've just bought a Fusion and I love it! 2 things wrong however: the boot release dash button doesn't work, but the remote keys work fine. Any ideas how to fix it? Cheers.

2 possible things, 

button is broken or wiring issues

If it works on the remote, then the wiring, servo and central locking GEM part is fine. The button connects to the GEM module and appears to feed a ground signal to the GEM so no live feed to the switch. Pull the button out and with a bit of fine wire jump the two pins in the connector and if that works then it's the button. If it doesn't try jumping from a good ground point to the yellow striped wire as that is the feed to GEM. If that works then the other black wire has a broken connection to ground. You can replace it by a new wire from a good ground into the connector to the switch.
