Technical Boot won’t open

[Hellyea23]

Hi all.

Have a Fiat 500, 2016. The boot has been playing up. Googled and searched but can’t find the cure!

So the boot has been temperamental. You press the boot release button, you hear the mechanism go but doesn’t open. However every so often it will work and it opens!
When it doesn’t open I have to climb inside and press the latch to open.
However....

Also finding the rear wiper is being odd too. It sometimes moves slowly, then just stops in the middle.

Also sometimes when I put the rear wiper on the dash tells me the boot is open (it’s not). And also I get check number plate light warning on dash too.

Clearly an electrical fault?!

Help!! Anyone know what the issue is and how to fix??

TIA

Hi

SEARCH Maybelline. On here for the likely suspect

As above, do not leave this fault it's suspected that leaving the issue can damage other electrical systems in the car, not too hard to fix by a competent DIY person

Maybelline has thrown a hissy fit | FIAT 500 (2007+)

Well I suppose it had to happen sometime. Went to visit some friends for a couple of hours, got back in the car, and turned the key to find the dash lit up like a disco. :mad: Initial assessment is that I've got the orange warning triangle, flashing mileage, airbag & seatbelt 'do not drive'...

Have you checked the wiring yet?
