Whilst travelling, my boot release mechanism keeps activating and releasing my boot lid. The activation is completely random, with no obvious reason why. I have to stop and turn-off before I can get it to close. I've tried squirting some WD40 on the mechanism but it doesn't make any difference. sounds like an an electrical issue but don't know. Any guidance would be much appreciated
Had a similar problem with a 2005 focus saloon. The insulation on the wiring, where it passed throught to the boot. had split and was shorting out. Had this rectified - problem solvedd
