My doors would not lock electricaly and the display says, Boot Open.

I finely got round to fixing this, here are my tips.
After replacing the boot lock and checking out the micro switch it came down to the wiring loom.
I didnt fancy doing this as I thought it was all going to be one piece.




but the boot micro switch and rear boot lights are one part with a joint/plug.

Once I found this .. getting it out was easy, just feel for the clip click.



Getting this home, and trying it was just a simple case of
1. unplugging the existing loom, plugging the replacement in, hold the micro switch on the boot lock and press button on key, Hey presto it works :)

now remove knacked wiring, I cut it to bits so I could get a small screw driver in to release the wire ties.



and tidy up the boot and job done.

Happy bunny, my central locking works,
the part cost me .. nothing :)
the scarp yard takes pity on my now as Ive spent so much on silly things like this.
only downside was is was -4 out side today.
