The boot lock on our 3dr as stopped working with the central locking but it can still be locked & unlocked with the key, anybody got any ideas. Thanks

 

central locking motor not working on the boot seems logical to me

 

Would this be the same on a normal seirra ie 2.0gl

 

Yep motor will be the same. Check the connections on yours tho they may just be a bit corroded and need a clean

 

3 door does NOT HAVE MOTOR, it uses a solenoid, ie electrical plunger, same as xr4i.
I would firstr asscertain that you are getting a LOCK PULSE as they are succeptible to broken wires in tailgate, due to constant flexing opening and closin.
The solenoid looks like a drum about 1 1/2" in diametre and about 3/4" long with a little rod about 3/4 inches long attaching to the lock area, the solenoid is held onto a flat plate by boot lock, secured by the LARGE FLAT golden colour screws near lock.
