E88 Boot/Trunk won't latch
Hey, as the tittle says i have issues with my boot latch.
When i unlock my car it sometimes unlocks(unlatches) my boot aswell so it stays open. I cant just close it as it just double latches and kicks open. I have to lock the car and then shut the boot. And pray that now when i unlock the car the boot won't unlatch. Also i cant open the boot with rear button. I only can open it with the boot button on my key. Anyone has idea what it might be? |

Hmm that could be a good call. As mine has no movement what so ever when i press it. Maybe it just stuck and thats why it always tries to unlatch when closing. Will take a look

Thats your issue then. You should be able to hear the latching sound when you press it.

Weird its acting up like when we leave the keyfob inside the trunk huh. 🤔. Wont let it shut Well You can start by replacing the lower cost parts. I would buy anither handle latch just in case . They are cheap. If that doesn’t help I would read codes stored to see if you can get a guidance towards the issue. |

Bumping the thread.
Update Bought second hand button for boot and also the latching mechanism. Switched them both out and still the issue persists. Boot wont lock/latch. Where should i look into next. I literally don't know what else to replace. |

Hi. I wonder if this could be related to your Key fob. You do have another you could try? The scenario I'm thinking of is that the trunk button is shorted internally and causing the trunk to open when you unlock the car via the fob.
If you've replace the mechanism which controls the locking of the trunk, I'd look to what controls that mechanism. Do post back if you find resolution and good luck. |

Try disconnecting your battery for a couple of minutes and connect to see if this unlocks the mechanism?
