Help - I can't get in my boot |
|
Hi all, I am looking for a little help and assistance. The handle on the boot of my 2010 D4 doesn't release the boot latch. The only way I can currently get into the back of the car is by pressing the boot release on the key, whilst simultaneously lifting the tailgate. Any ideas what is at fault??
Most likely a coincidence, but I recently changed both number plate bulbs...

Since you changed the lights on both sides of the handle... the Handle?

Officially you need to replace the whole handle assembly, but on eBay you can bit just the rubber switch bit and solder it in. I did mine recently as it failed and to had to use the key fob too in order to open the upper tailgate.
You're not too far away. Give me a shout if you need to chat/need a hand.

I have got it sorted. I bought a new handle off eBay, removed the whole assembly and fitted the new handle. It probably took 15 minutes start to finish.
Thanks for the guidance and offers of help.
