Boot Release problem - Perth-WRX.com

Seems that the boot does not open when i pull the release leaver (on the floor next to the drivers door). I can see it trigger the release but the boot does not open. any ideas? its very annoying as i need to turn the car off and use the key when wanting to access the boot. Thanks

there is a switch on the side of the lock on the boot lid,
flick that and it will work........

haha yep thats the ticket! i shut my keys in the boot and pulled the latch and nothing happened! frustrating few minutes pulling the rear seats forward then finally got them with a coat hanger

It's either the switch or the boot latch has bent its contact point. Easy enough to rectify, just need to fiddle with it.

Had a fiddle with the latch and all that, still not opening.
