When i pull my boot latch in my car it doesn't open, also boot compartment light bulb is fine but there's no light! any idea to fix it?

Id be guessing fuse. With the latch, have you had an accident or did it just cease working?

yeah either fuse or wiring. Check to see if you have power at the bulb holder.

As for boot not opening id say csble has snapped

cable snapped? hmm any diagram?

I have a spare one at home ill take a pic for you when i finish work

cheers!!!

I8A4RE have you taken a pic of the boot latch mechanism yet? thanks

sorry mate i completely forgot i have sent myself a email to remind myself. So ill definitly do it today for you

haha thanks man.

hey Merry Xmas and Happy new year I8A4RE have you taken a pic of the boot latch mechanism yet? thanks

I actually had a similar issue, my boot was fine, i can open & close it no problem but the bulb wasn't working, i checked all fuses & they were fine, until i went to Jaycar Electronics & they found the issue, it was the boot switch that was stuffed so i had to get a whole new boot latch or boot lock...not sure what you call it, but i got the part number of Mitsubishi & found an second hand one at a car junk place all the way in Ballarat Melbourne & cost $30. When i got the boot latch/lock replaced, the bulb was working fine =) yeah now i can see light..hehe =P

I have never seen a boot light in mine... I am going to have to check tonight...

thanks BJ, where's the place you got your fto boot latch fixed and what was the part number?. btw your fto is looking sick!!! have you seen May lately?

pretty sure ive got a latch lying around somewhere if that helps. The latch has the switch in it. You can change it over yourself. Just 2 bolts

bey bro, thanks at least now my car looks good like yours =) the panel shop is at 5/8 Brand Drive Thomastown, number: 94658111. The part number for the boot latch is: MR152421. Not sure if you need to call Mitsubishi because they asked for my VIN number first before i could get the part number, Mitsubishi's Heidelberg number: 94581222. By the way, if you want it brand new from mitsubishi, it cost now $110 bucks, so ask dstocks if he has a spare 1, his the man with the parts =) Here's some pics, hope this helps. I haven't seen May for a long time, me & my gf went out with her, her hubby & her son for dinner ages ago. We should go on a cruise =) take care bro

I've had my car for a year and I've never realize that I didnt have a boot light. ANyone got a spare boot light switch? Since we are talkin abt it, does the glovebox compartment have a light?

lol niklan!!! haven't you notice it's odd it doesn't have light at night when opening the boot?

nope...never noticed. done use my boot compartment tat often and if i do its usually during the day. I have a carporch tat lights up automatically when I come in...so its like damn bright in the nite. Lolz

Think I have more than one of these. Akumi has the first one. Will be checking today, so will post back when I have had a scout around
