Default Help please - new bonnet catch/latch

Last week my bonnet latch light came on (I have a 06 ST3) so I bought a new one from ford and replaced it myself. Anyway, today my guages reported I needed to put more oil in (I recently had a new turbo fitted), anyway, when I tried opening the bonnet nothing happened? it wont open. I know I fitted everything correctly, I am totally lost, do I need to program the key or should it know when I started the engine after fitting the part.

Please advise??????

Anyone? also, the oil pres is nearly hitting red but it was fine yesterday so i av no idea, I cant check the oil because the bonnet wont open lol! my turbo is under warr so thats ok but I dont get why a brand new bonnet latch wont open?

Can someone just answer me this. The guy asked my reg, so the part was the correct one, does the key auto reg with the bonnet lock or do I need to do something? Like i've said, I fitted it correctly. Maybe the part is faulty?
