Problem with Megane Privilege tailgate - boot is shut but the car doesn't think it is

Postby Jimjim2009 » Sat Jan 19, 2019 5:08 pm

Hi fellow Megane owners :)

I am having an issue with my Megane. The boot is shut, but the car doesn't "think" it is. So when I try to start the car with the Renault card, I'm having issues as these cars tend to be tricky to start if the car thinks any door is open.

I would welcome any suggestions on how to get past this issue.

On a related note, does anyone know the knack of starting the car even if the boot was actually open ? (because the car thinks its open even when it isn't). I recall, some time back, reading in the owner manual what the knack was for doing this. Have looked through the manual again but can't find it now. Am sure it's in there somewhere but thought I may as well ask while I am making this post.

Thanks for reading :)

I'm not 100% sure but I would imagine there must be a micro switch in the boot lock which gives the locked or unlocked signal, maybe this is gummed up or defective.

I would remove and clean up the lock mechanism and see if there was a micro switch causing the problem.




Cheers.
