I can't open my Griffith boot....

[panic]

It was a few years since my Griffith boot didn't remain closed, it went up and down but it didn't lock.
The other day the guy in the paint shop had the great idea of putting some fuid to release the closing sistem, so it closed ermetically BUT...BUT I don't know now how to reopen it!

The button on the dash that opens the doors seems that does not open the boot...any trick to get there without needing to dismantly the half rear part of the car?

Thanks a LOT...

Does the button on the dash open the doors? I thought it only locked them. I hate the damned thing so never use it.
I think thats the left side of the pair of two isn't it.

The boot opener is the right side of that pair.

Boot release only works with the ignition turned on and is to the right of the door lock button

You can get it open externally..........but obviously that is why I PM'ed the post.

Thanks all of you...

I thought the boot button was the one for the doors (That I've never used...)

My boot opens by pressing button with ignition on or off?

I know some boot release buttons have been hard wired to save inserting/turning the key.

Is much aggro to get the remote boot release added to the Meta alarm? mine came like this, I almost never use the dash button

I've tried the button...it doesn't workeither withor without inserting the key, I'll have to do it manually following the procedures a forum friend has explained to me...

I also have a wire that can open mine, for when the bloody solonoid fails

Guys - Please don't put too much information on here about how to get into our boots - this is a public forum after all.

Panic - if you need more info, most of the people on this thread (inc me) will be able to help if you PM them.

Sorry about that, in good faith I didn't think these infos could be somehow dangerous...

Thanks for the new inputs sent me by mail anyway...

Resurrecting this thread, I think the solenoid has failed on the boot opening switch on the dashboard in my Griff. It has been getting more difficult to open the boot over the past few months. Now it won’t open at all. Can anyone give me a tip on how to fix it or at least open the boot so I can get some fuel into the tank. Thanks

It is far more likely to be the boot soleniod failed or lack of lubrication of the latch making it too stiff for the soleniod to deal with.
I will send PM

My boot has been getting more and more difficult to open, I think I'll just ignore it and may be it will fix itself




Hopefully Steve has sorted you? I don't know if they all have a "secret cable" mine has.

[Hedgehopper]

The secret cable is to open the doors, you still need to get into the boot first.
