I have the Fabia 2015 model in the hand book index under luggage compartment, emergency unlocking (in my handbook its page 181) it tells you how to manually open the tailgate. Joe

I never got much response on this, can't think why, cheers anyhow...

Did the method suggested work?

 

Have you checked that power is getting to the switch in the boot lid?

 

Keep us updated.

 

Thanks, AG Falco

 

 

[largedenims]

Yes plenty of power to boot ...

With the boot lid open but the boot catch in the locked position does it work using either the key fob or the outside boot push button?

 

 

Thanks, AG Falco

[largedenims]

In the open position with boot up it all works tip top as soon as you close it, not a peek

 

[AGFalco]

Have you removed the boot switch / lock / catch and tested it?

 

Does the MFD know when the boot lid is open / closed ?

 

Broken wire from the body to the boot lid in the black rubber tube near on of the hinges?

 

Thanks, AG Falco

I shall have to check the wire in the rubber tube bit of a mare really the car is only 3 years old...

shabby to be fair...

[AGFalco]

Check the switch first.

 

Thanks, AG Falco

Having a similar issue but the boot can open using the button on the key fob. The boot is shown as open on the MFD when it is actually open however the button on the boot itself doesn't do antyhing.

 

I have access to VCDS and it shows the boot latch actuating(off-on-off), the car recognising the boot is open (switching from to - for), and the "status of rear lid lock" is always "released" but nothing changes when I press the button on the boot.
