Soft close boot operation
Posted: Mon Apr 13, 2015 7:45 pm
I have a 2005 X350 and recently noticed that I cannot open the boot using the remote. If I try to open with the remote the boot does open but does not release fully, it is still held on a latch and it will not open. Once this has happened I have to push down on the boot lid for the soft close function to re-lock the boot and can only open it fully by using the key.
The electrical part of the opening is working but there is still something holding the latch in place. Does anybody know if there is there some kind of adjustment I can make on the latch? As I say by using the remote the boot is opening possibly 1/2 inch but will not release completely.
I am not sure if it needs a new latch system but seems very strange it will not open on the remote but will with the key.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
Darren
