Boot up the creek...

[Tyler Durden]

Chaps I have not been able to look at this at all, it might be something as simple as a bloody fuse...

Half hour ago I had three 'malfunctions' flash up on the dash of my E320 (04). Left and right number plate lights and the third brake light. Can not open boot via key fob OR car.

Anyone had this problem or is it just gonna be a fuse? After my (smells great) roast dinner in a sec Ill pop out and take a look but I just tried the key in the boot and no joy.

Thanks in advance for replies...

Ahh right...no replies then, Ill go outside and see what I can see.

Sh*t. The key doesnt do anything and feels like its gonna snap, and all fuses in box are ok. Ive no electrics in the boot lid at all now and no way of opening the boot (missus not happy as she needs stuff for work tomorrow).

Can anyone shed any light on this please? If not its gonna have to get expensive back at Mercedes.

Thanks.

Do you mean "no electrics" reaching the number plate lights?
Does the central locking still works for the doors?

Have a look on this forum for broken wires at the boot hinge.

There's a tenner riding on it here...

Thanks to both of you, the ONLY 2 people on the forum that could be bothered to post.

Right, I managed to get in via the key, and a local mechanic has looked at it saying there is nothing wrong but it has to go back to merc to have the Star computer reset the faults, ans a short in the number plate light caused a problem.

We will see....
