In the first 3 minutes and 30 seconds, you covered my need better than the more popular videos could. Thanks for being clear and informative.

Cheers for this buddy, did my daughters one this morning before the rain came down, only took me 8 months lol

Good video... You should have added a "How to open the boot from inside" chapter - I did, tbh, smirk a little as you shut the boot with the switch off in your hand. :-) "He's gonna be crawling into the boot now to get at the little plastic release... " :-)

SO TRUE 🙂

Thanks so much- was able to replace the entire lift gate handle piece watching this. Took me 30 minutes- if that. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Pleased it helped you

This is amazing - I'm going to try this this week and let you know if it works on my Fiat 500L

This video was helpful. I could hear my lock clicking when I used the key fob, so I didn't think it was electrical. Without doing anything else, I sprayed some penetrant up at the exterior release latch, and it freed it enough to solve my problem.

This sounds like the same problem I’ve got. The boot only opens with the key fob. I followed this (very helpful) video, cleaned and put back together. The pin was clicking again but for some reason wasn’t connecting to the boot switch mechanism (if that’s what you call it) to open the boots. My instincts were to spray DW40 up into the switch but still nothing. Not sure what else to do? Do you think I may need to buy a boot switch? Thank you kindly in advance.😅

So how do you open the boot if it's shut? I can't get at anything😢

Thanks for posting

You are my hero🎉🎉

My back door was also broken and the key fob didn't work. But you need to hold the switch for a long time to turn it on. Not sure what the problem is.

Dans la mienne tout fonctionne sauf la lumiere . Qu est ce que sa pourai etre. Merci de votre aide

Did this. Still not working, found a forum post detailing how to reset roof ( convertible roof) that did the trick.

Cheers mate im going to try it , let you know 👍

I tried this but I just couldn’t remove the switch from the plastic cover, spent almost two hours with a screwdriver and a trim tool going all around, it pulled over like a quarter inch but it just won’t come off. Any ideas to what can I do?

It’s locks in on the two ends. Some of them can be stubborn. If you pop the ends it will come out easier

You were lucky. Most of the times any faulty tailgate component is related to ripped cables in left top part of boot. There is repair kit available but it takes few hours of work.

Can I ask. Could your trunk still be opened by the key fob when the switch you fixed was not working? My daughter's also stopped opening. I replaced the entire lock mechanism but still not working. Want to try your fix, but just wanted to get clarity if the key fob also didn't work. Thanks Rudi

Key Fob worked with the boot

I have a similar problem, however the key fob doesnt work either. I removed the harness/loom and found some severed wires, I welded them back together but still no luck. There continuity from the connector (that goes into the locking mechanism) all the way to were the wires were severed. but nothing seems to work. Im thinking it could be the motor/relay. do you have any ideas was to what could be the root cause and solution? thanks in advance

Hi Daniel, If you have jointed the loom back up properly because tte wires are very thin. I once had this problem because there was one wire I didn’t see which was broken but the sleeve wire had no sign of damage. If they are all good then it does sound like a boot mechanism.

Thanks for sharing dude!

Boot won't open manually but will open from the key. Do you think it could be wiring loom? I did cleaned push button.

Did you take it apart and clean it like the video. If it still works from the key then I don’t think it’s the wiring loom. The motor still works

You have to make sure the white button with the aping on it clicks in and out. Take a small screwdriver and clean the metal pin. Push it in a little to liberate plastic from pin

Sounds like the actuator kzread.info/dash/bejne/p4hpyapmk9zPm9o.html

So I’m popping a fuse each time I hit the button for the hatch - it blows the fuse. Do you think it’s the switch? Grounding problem or something else?

Check the wiring loom that comes from the car into the boot lid. Sounds like a couple of wires are bare and they are touching. You will have to remove rubber from around it. They usually go there.
