Boot release 2011 Legacy saloon

Hi, 2nd post! The boot on our Legacy is jammed shut. When the boot release button is pressed (either on keyfob or inside cabin) the normal click and spring release noise is heard but bootlid stays firmly shut. The dashboard does not register the boot as open. There is no barrell lock on the boot. Any ideas what the problem might be? Is there a valet lock that's been engaged? thanks
 
Either the button on the boot lid died or the wires, going to it, broke.

Another option is a boot lock button, which on lhd vehicles is in the glove box; check the manual for yours.

The rear seats don't fold at all. Only way we can access the boot is via the rear centre armrest. There must be another way to open the boot!
 
That’s a bit of inspiration (I know it’s an earlier model)

Push down on the boot lid while pressing the open button. These units give problems as there the same as in the hatch
 
Whats the issue? Is the dead body inside the boot start decomposing? :icon_omg:
Only messing. Im hoping you get sorted :54:
 
Usually the latch itself but. Normally stops closing /locking so always open not closed
 
Hi Scoobysub, pushing down on boot lid worked! Lashed plenty of wd40 on and it's opening fine. Thanks for the tip!
