Boot lever locked?

**YLD-H22** · 16-11-2011 04:17 PM

I locked my boot lever and it's not unlocking. I can't use the lever anymore and i have to manually open my boot with the key. Anyone know how to fix this?

I try and answer the best i can with the information provided.

you need to provide more information.

I know i can fix it, but i have no idea what's gone wrong.....

need to look at what has gone wrong, unless you can describe it......

I'l try give you as much detail as i can

I was just observing all the features of my new lude and noticed a key hole on the floor to the right of my driver's seat. Same spot as the petrol flap lever.
I found a key hole and next to it, it said 'lock.' I looked like it said 'look' lol but anyways. I stuck my key in that hole and twisted it.. then i noticed i can't use that lever anymore.
I tried sticking the key in and twisting left and right to unlock it but it won't unlock. Now i have to unlock the boot with my key instead of simply pulling the lever.

The keyhole next to the boot release lever is to lock the boot release lever.
It's there for valet purposes. When you leave your keys with a parking attendant and don't want them snooping around.

If you were able to lock it , you must certainly be able to un-lock it again.

keep trying, did you use the right key?

you should have a master key and a slave key.

keep trying.

does it make any difference if you try turning the key while the boot is open or closed?

try wiggling the lever while turning the key....

Yep i tried everything with both keys, boot closed and opened, wiggling lever, etc. I thought maybe there's a procedure that i need to follow to open it.. Can you (or anyone else) try it on your lude if you have one and let me know?

Push and twist with the key, make sure the levers not even the slightest bit up when you try it. Also make sure you're using the same key that you open the boot with. Oh and a random thing to to try, turn the key around and try again if it doesn't work.
