Facelift boot release not working
« on: 04 May 2010, 22:15:52 »
Hi all
Without actually removing the whole unit and doing voltage checks are there any quick checks I should rule out?

Now the boot release still works from key fob's just not from dash so I know it works I just want to get her all working as she should :y

thanks

IF you are, there is a little mod you can do to sort this out. Worked for me last week.

Let us know !

Up to 2001, key needs to be removed from ign to open boot.  Post 2001, you need to press and hold button for 2s, whether keys in or not

In your case LZ, I reckon either someone has added some extra electronics (easy-ish) or its had a new ECU.

In the meantime, PM me your reg and I'll use that to try to work out what should be in there :y

Ok, OK!! ::) ::)  So my alarm has apparently been given a later model ECU ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

Just shows how many variants there are of our miggies and how the advice we give to others must take that into account ;) ;)
