1ltr Ecoboost boot problem

Hi guys

I have a slight problem with my Fiesta Ecoboost, as my boot will not open unless I use my key fob.

Before anyone asks, the car is definitely unlocked haha

I don't know if it is a loose wire or just a broken button. Are there any checks I can do? 

I called Ford up and to just have a look at it they want £85

Thanks in advance

    I opened the car this afternoon and couldn't get the boot open at all.   Tried the key fob and the boot handle switch.   Neither worked.   Locked the car up again and unlocked it and then the boot was fine.   I had a new boot lock only 4 months ago.

    Do you know if it will be a straight forward fix at all? 

    There must be a YouTube video 🤔
