Fog Lights And Boot....

[Davrosballino]

Hello all, 
    I have an interesting one. My rear fog lights don't work and boot wont open. The fog light indicator on the dash is on when I brake and/or when the head lights are on. Now, when I switch the fog lights on....the boot can be opened. I think it may be a relay but I have looked at the ones in the rear side panel but they appear to be fine. 

...Now the boot has stopped opening whether the fog light switch is on or off.

 

Any ideas?
Dave

welcome to the forum,if its totally dead back there then you will have to search on here on the fix,there is a post somewhere on how to gain access to open the boot

once opend you need to check\CAREFULLY the wires in the boot gaitors for any break/frays and carry out repairs.

As Greger says, your problems are almost certainly broken wiring inside the tailgate rubber gaiter.

It would also be an idea to look at it ASAP while you can get it open still (with the foglights switched on) as getting it open later can be more of a problem.
