Title: Electric boot release
Post by Octavian_P on Jul 9^th, 2006, 3:42pm

Hello

I need a bit of help, when i bought my car, sometime ago, it had the electrics relly messed up, in time i tried to fix what i could. All it's almoust ok now except a few things, but the most annoying is the boot. From the time i bought the car the boot only opens by the key. A few days ago i have bought a remote for mr. scoprio, i have programed it and it's ok, beside not wanting to open my boot. So i have went to the car full with tools and opend the boot locking mechanism. Took my multi-meter and cheked the wireing. At first glance all seems ok except that there's no +12 volt feed to the lock. I have followed the wireing till it enters near the back seat. Now my question is, does somebody has a wireing schematic for this thing, or any know-how....

PS: mr. scorpio has an aftermarket alarm also, and the driver / passanger doors only open by remote, because the key spins free in the door lock. But instead the key can close the doors....... :P

Try this page.http://www.carsoft.ru/avtorepair/sierra_el.html. It is for the Scorpio although the title says Sierra.

Locky posted a while ago about a problem with the back seat catching the wiring loom as it passed underneath, it might be that
