grrr a few little problems with this car! this one could be my fault, but i hope not.

anyway, went to open it the other day, the lock wont make a sound, funny thing is the glass still opens fine! is there a manual opening for them??

has anyone had this problem before? what was it? i havent checked fuses all that carefully, but i found the 70 million fuses behind the battery under the cover. a bitch to get to unless you remove all that plastic from above it!

just wish i knew what they all did! lol

any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks!

Yea, if ou cimb into the back there is a small plug / panel down near the lock, you can remove this and then there is the manual release.

not on an M35 mate. no key lock. unless its hidden!!! maybe ill have a better look under where the button is. might be a keyhole like my honda had

ohh yeah ill come past and show you the car this week. meant to do it last week but lacked motivation at work... mostly to even be there lol

EDIT: checked and the manual override works fine. good for the moment, at least i can still use the boot now!

all i have to do it find out where the problem is, i guess a relay or fuse..............

The button is under the Nissan emblem on the boot. No key lock.

How else have you been opening the boot if not with the button?

yeah thats how ive been opening it lol

i mean now that the button doesnt work i thought there might have been a key lock in the tailgate, which there isnt.

anyway, need to check fuses when i get time.......

Damn!

And here I was thinking that there was a magical button I had yet to find.... oh well.

there IS a magical button, its the manual release inside the boot door :P

if you open the tailgate, near the lock on what would face the front of the car when closed is a small panel, pop it out and you can use that to open the boot if your button doesnt work. thats what im using thanks to another thread!

Not so magical if I have to climb into the back to get access to the back :P

I meant maybe from the drivers seat... oh well.

nah nothing from the drivers seat. and i just open the glass and stick my hand in to open the tailgate, no need to get into the boot via the backseat.... i mean like i first did to get it open :bunny:

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
