Grantursimo S - Number plate Lights and Boot opening

[jsweet]

Hi

Hoping someone can help with my Granturismo Issue, My number plate lights stopped working and my boot is also not opening either. seems like there is no power going to both.

Would this be a fuse ? or would there be an issue with the wiring loom which is covered in the corrugated rubber which sits next to the boots opening mechanism ?

I would guess the cables running through the plastic on the n/s. They can get brittle and crack, I had the same thing on mine. 10 minutes of auto electrician wizardry and you should be all fixed

That would seem most likely.
Just as extras though: The boot release is it the key fob, interior button or exterior button that are not working? Or all three?

All three, first the numberplate lights were flickering when opening and closing the boot, i gave the wiring loom a wiggle and the lights on the number plate lights went off completely, i then shut the boot and then boot wouldn't open again.

I would agree with Kitty, the constant opening and closing of the boot wears, then eventually brakes the loom where it goes form the lid to the body.

Also worth marking sure there is not debris on top to the bumper that stops the boot fully closing and any contacts not making.

Cable. There's a manual release under the rear passenger seat squab
