Boot Solenoid by edward1

When i try to open my boot , the solenoid switch keeps going when using the key or switch , i have replaced the boot solenoid , and it worked correctly for a day now it started doing this fault again , as anyone had this problem , i cant see it being the barrel as it appears free and is the mechanical side , any help would be appreciated please .

I think what your describing is "machine gunning" turn the rubber stops on the boot lid a 1/4 turn and all should be OK :)

do you have a boot tidy net fitted because believe it or not the flap near the centre can be shut over the lock which thsn seems to jam and creates the same effect

Planning is an unnatural process, much better to just get on with things, that way failure comes as a complete surprise instead of being preceeded by a period of worry and doubt

Doesn't have to be faulty, could just be badly adjusted like mine was.
