Weirdest thing happened with the Ralliart, the button in the glovebox to open the boot just stopped working.

Was working since i got the car and now nothing.

No noises, no clicking.......nothing.

But the boot still opens when i use the remote to open it.

Has this happened to anyone on here ?

Any suggestions ?

would just check over the wires mate
i think these are electric from the switch to the solenoid

Well, checking the button and the wires/connections from there back through looms to boot would be a place to start.

There are workshop manuals links posted in these forums, which let you download genuine Mitsi manual - check the wiring diagrams in that, it'll show what components the boot release runs through, and will also show you the type of connector at various junctions.

Will be a bit of a pain, but either the button itself has stopped functioning, or it has been detached from rest of the boot release "system" somehow.

happend to me in my vrx. just use the key to open....
the is a release switch on the latch, you may have accidentally knocked it to "lock"

Mine did this when i was wiring up neons....it was a fuse in the drivers side footwell, i think it may have been the ciggie lighter..not sure :S worth a look tho

Pry it open with a crowbar. then to close, tape it up with a black scotch tape. perfect excuse for having racing stripes.
