Boot wont unlock? - Page 2

3rdcarlucky · 9th October 2007, 16:14

Ok, tried disconnecting the battery and that hasnt worked

have opened the boot manually from inside the car ( thanks for that tip ) but obviously still trying to sort the problem and find a way to open from the outside? any other ideas?
How do i check the fuses?
Thanks again

Fuses are generally visibly blown (wire not connected side to side)
If you have a Test Meter this would be the easiest way.

I think passenger fuse panel number 13 (10amp) is for the central locking

Where is the fuse panel? is it under the glove box?
So if its not the fuse, any other ideas?
Cheers

That's correct under the glove box.

IMO I would always disconnect the negative lead first for safety.
