What were the symptoms before you removed the latch? Was it the latch you removed (metal mechanism) or plastic (release lever)?

I’m not sure but I suspect that the boot controls won’t work without the latch in place. Don’t force the boot down though as an expensive repair will get even more so! I had the latch replaced on mine and it was pricier than I thought it would be.

Mel, sorry I’m not sure about the buttons because the main dealer replaced mine. I wouldn’t be surprised if the buttons Donny work when the latch is removed though.
