Hello Peeps.
My 07 Multijet has the boot release type where you just push the rubber pad below the door catch. Not the one where the lever is just below the handbrake.
Its stopped working. No sound at all when you press the button, before you could hear the solenoid clunk and then the catch would release. So......
Any advice on how to fix it ? Fuse perhaps. and also is there a manual overide, other then crawling about over the back seats:)
Thanks.
Chris

It's probably the little microswitch behind the rubber cover that's gone u/s. Have a good read of this thread:

https://www.fiatforum.com/multipla/148223-multipla-boot-lock-its-permanently-locked.html

It's all in there. If you have a key slot in the boot lid, that should release it. From (hazy) memory, there's also a slot/hole in the inner tailgate moulding that gives access to an emergency release of some sort from inside the car.


Thanks for that. If only there was a key slot!!! if only :)
 
Mine (a 2004 roundnose ELX) has a key slot immediately to the right of the number plate. I'm not sure what rhyme or reason there is to which cars do / don't have them.

But this is an Italian car, after all...... :)
 
There is a little catch on the bootlock inside that can be flicked with a screwdriver to release it. From memory, it is silver and looks like part of the bootlock. It is a devil to find! And yes it does require crawling around in the bootspace, sorry!

If you have the owners booklet that came with the car, it might show a picture of it in there. It did on my old '07 Nosejob, anyway.
