Hi all, just a quick question, my battery died on me today so I nipped to Halfords and got myself a new one, fitted it in minutes but now for some reason my boot will not open when I use the boot catch, it will however, open when I use the button on the key. So my question is simply, is there a reset button to get things working as they should again? ? I should also say that I have a 2012 Fiat 500 lounge?

Hi.

Sounds like a coincidence..


But
Try uncoupling battery Negative lead for an hour...

Just possible it didnt reset correctly at power restoration point.

Do let us know what you find.

Ok thanks Charlie I'll try that tomorrow, it's the old off and on trick ?

Make sure it is latched properly when you reset it

The micro switch is known to fail, ours didn't work when we got the car 3 years ago but I managed to coax it into life and been fine ever since, I think regular use of the handle helps keep it working
