    Default Boot doesn't open

    Not long had the car and I knew the boot didn't open. But I though, "I'll just use the key" Having a broken fob too means if I want the boot open I have to climb into the boot.

    If I use the key in the door, the boot pops, but doesn't open, (like the bonnet, in a way). I can't get the boot to open as it should.

    Any help appreciated

    There is an electric motor that is attached to the lock, it may be duff or just require a fuse checking?

    It sounds like the motor isnt working, you would normally hear it when you push the boot release button.

    It's not the fuse or the motor, it's a common problem with the boot handle, and a stuck microswitch inside it. Do a search on here for "Signum boot handle" and you'll find plenty of info on it.
