Boot Access 4200

That's almost certainly the problem then.

Thanks

Found 2 broken wires and another is badly frayed. The rubber sleeve is difficult to pull back to access the wires so I may have to cut it as I have not been able to find the other 2 cut wires ends.

That's frustrating Brandon, well done for discovering it.

Blue and white is the boot release. 12v applied will fire it.

That sleeve is only pushed in at top and bottom. Threading a new cable may be difficult, though and you want to make sure it's well sealed as otherwise your boot *will* get wet.

At least you found the problem, now to fix it..!! You could try threading threough say 5 or 6 wires different colours with plenty of slack, then reseal the hose ends. Then pick up each wire and connect to existing at each end with a crimp terminal..??

I crimped the 2 broken wires in the picture.

Not only is the boot release working now the boot light works aswell(stopped a while ago) and the boot open light comes up on the dash now! Result.

Crimping the wires involved cutting the rubber sleeve a few times which I now need to glue back together and I will wrap it in tape.

That was why I suggested putting in extra cable through the cable hose, you could crimp at each end and would not have to cut the hose..??
