Can't get boot to open

[melvin]

Hi Lads,
Cant seem to get my boot open today, just makes the buzzing noise when I push the button. I dont think its frozen as its facing the sun and should be thawed. Can anyone help?

probably frozen the seals, if the lock is moving then that doesnt seem to be your problem. I had this once and had to give it a light tug and it opened

Thanks for reply mate, the boot makes a buzzing noise but doesnt "click" like it should.

i've had this push down on the boot and press the button and pull boot.

as above, push down on the boot quite hard, then try it, failing that, do you have a keyhole on the button? could try that, failing THAT, Climb in through the back seats, take a torch, as you get to the inside where the lock/button would be, theres a circle black grommet like thing, pop it off and then theres a plastic square, use a suitable tool (i used a large flathead screwdriver wedged in) and turn, should open it that way - once its open you can work out whats going on.
