Hi

My wife's remote book lock (operated by the switch on the dashboard) has stopped working.

I took the boot panel off and the actuator does appear to move, but not enough to open the lock.

I took the actuator off and put 12v across it and it seems operate satisfactorily ie pulls the rack (which in turn pulls the boot lock cable) in fine, although it wasn't under any load (ie pulling anything)

However when I operate it off the dashboard switch, it doesn't seem to have enough oomph to open it and only moves a small distance.

Is it likely to be a faulty actuator or could there be a relay problem? Because the actuator does actually move when you press the switch I would have thought it wasn't that.

Any advice?

Regards
Keith
