Hi everyone, I’ve had problems with boot release on FL2 57 plate. Got new fob, didn’t work, realised that the fuse could have blown, which it had … once changed the dash message ‘tailgate open’ disappeared, boot opened by fob … I was soooo happy … until I drove it and the fuse blew again. As the bonnet release handle wasn’t working I decided to change it incase that was the problem. Changed the fuse ..lot get into boot and then the release switch. (Anyone who can do that in the suggested 40 mins to an hour has my utmost respect ✊) My satisfaction that the boot release button worked as well as the fob was huge …. Until I drove it from the garage to my drive at which point same fault…. I’m at a loss now what to try , I am assuming that the fault to do with when th car automatically locks itself when pulling away but not sure . Has anyone experienced this before or have any suggestions on what to try next please … I am determined to get it sorted 🙏

I think the fuse for the tailgate is shared with the fuel flap motor,
