2009 Aurion boot lock controls malfunctioning

[currajong]

Greetings to All.

I have a 2009 Aurion Prodigy with a malfunctioning  boot lock control - all pull cables are intact, but only the remote will unlock the boot - key block and cabin pull lever both operate cable attached to boot lock, but the boot lock cable does not appear to move far enough to release the mechanism.

Can anyone help with this? Also what is the function of the electrical microswitch forming part of the key unlocking assembly?

All help will be gratefully acknowledged.

Thank you.

I think that there may be a key control on the boot release to secure the boot so it cannot be opened using the lever in the cabin.

Thanks anyway Ashley.

I was aware of that, (key can be used to disable cabin release) but I checked it once again anyway. No go. Only the remote will open the boot.

I am unsure if there is a wear issue here. Thoughts anyone?

Frank

Ashley,

Thanks for your earlier suggestion. Problem is solved for now. I mention this in case it happens to others. There are 2 x cable attachment points on the boot lock, one at an angle on side and one at the rear.  I merely shifted the cable connection to the alternate point at the lock rear - fixed!

Thanks and regards.
