dustymiller Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Hi all , When I unlock my car with the key fob the doors open fine but the boot stays locked , I have to press the boot button twice to unlock it , it used to all open , doors and boot together but started doing this now . anyone had a similar problem ? I've changed the fob battery but still the same . Thanks Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjt Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 This sounds like a failure of the boot release button in the tailgate. It might be water ingress into the button, which I think is a known issue in these models, or a fracture in the wiring between tailgate and body. There's obviously nothing wrong with the boot latch or remote since two presses unlock it ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustymiller Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Thanks I'll have a look at the boot mechanism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatHead1979 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 So when you press the boot release on the boot itself it doesn't respond? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joss max Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I have just noticed my 16 plate tit focus starting to do the same thing. I will wait until service is due to get it fixed. Not that much of an issue for me at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
