RBus59 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hello, Need some help please. My Boot on a 59 plate S-MAX has stopped unlocking.,......cant get into the boot. Is there a fuse I can try removing or relay and then see if it works again? Maybe the door locking solenoid has given up - but how can I get into the boot with the solenoid not working? - any ideas please........struggling for cash and don't want to go to main dealer. Any help appreciated. Regards, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBus59 Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Hello.....Managed to get the boot to open. I pushed my bum against the boot, kept pressing unlock and pushed until the weight was taken off the latch mechanism. I then operated the lock with a screwdriver whilst first spraying WD40 inside the locking mechanism. I then let the lock drip out the old gunk for 5 minutes or so and then cleaned it with a rag, before spraying silicone lubricant into the locking area. Boot now seems to be operating smoothly :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
