I really need some help as I am now very confused
I have a Seat Ibiza 1.4 Chil (11 plate) and the boot will not open, it is locked shut.
After reading the manual I climbed in the back of the car and opened the boot using the release slot (very handy). I’ve removed the boot trim to expose the back of boot switch (handle) and the latch.
I tested the switch (handle), It is very simple, there are only two wires going into the switch, live power and return power. There is power going into it, when someone lifts the handle there is power coming out of it, so this good.
The latch seems to have 4 wires going into and I do not know what these do to test (so I ingored them). I thought as the switch is good its unlikely to be a faulty wire it must latch that has gone. I ordered a new latch (same model number). It arrived today and I swapped it over (after buying some Spline tools!) but the boot still does not open!
Has anyone else come across this issue?
Does anyone know if the boot lock is controlled or protected by a fuse?
Any help is most appreciated, As I have boot trim off I’ll post some pictures tomorrow when its better weather.
Thank You!
Tim
