3008 boot not unlocking/opening

Post by DustyBAT »

Hi

I have a 2010 3008, the boot has all of a sudden stopped unlocking therefore I cannot open it. The fob and the interior unlock button doesn't open it. Is there any way I can get it back open? Is there a fuse that may have blown preventing the solenoid from working?

If you look on the tailgate latch here in the little slot there is a little arm you move with a small screwdriver that will manually release the tailgate latch so you can get it open to do some investigation. First port of call would be to check the wiring where it goes from the body to the tailgate, as this part flexes all the time its a common braking point of the wires.

Thanks. I had to butcher the catch to get to said lever you mentioned. Managed to get it open. Cannot find any broken wires. Not sure where to look next. Could there be a fuse blown? Sometimes I know some fuses serve multiple applications. Struggling with this and the wife keeps moaning she doesn't have a working boot!
