Default Good old ford!

Well, since ford decided to put a lock on the boot and then put a button to release the boot right in the plain view of the public

Can I disable this button on a 95' facelift escort?

Seems a bit "ford" to put a lock on the boot then put a release button right there

Anyway.. got sounds in the boot so can i disable the button?

Thanks

Try wiring the live wire from the button to the live on the ignition(2nd turn of the key.That way ,button will only work when the key is in the ignition and in position 2.
