Great Guide, Thanks very much. I started getting problems with my boot just yesterday and found this very useful.

My problem seems to a bit different. It started with the 'boot open' error message when the boot was closed. Boot then wouldnt open unless i pressed the open boot button on the key fob. Got the boot open and now it wont close at all, it just bounces open when trying to push it down.

I've ordered a new loom in the hope that will solve it. However, does anyone know if i push the mechanism shut with a screwdriver, should it stay in the 'shut' position? even if it is disconnected from the loom? or does it some how electronically shut when connected to the power? I've disconnect the whole lock mechanism from the boot and I can't figure out if that is where the fault lies - as I say, it wont stay 'shut'.
