w202 merc c200... Boot won't open!

tupac662

Hi all,
Bit of a problem, i cannot open the boot to my c class.
Tried using the key fob, the key itself and release button in the centre console but still won't open.

I've checked the fuses in the bonnet and they are all fine, but there's also a fuse box in the boot which I can't gain access to.

I think the lock has seized:mad:
Any ideas before I have to take it to the local garage? I've got important paperwork in the boot:(

Thanks in advance

Can you start the car?

Go to Mbclub forum and do a search under W202 can't open boot

Thanks Zach, the car starts and drives, central locking works fine, but the boot must have a mind of it's own!
I'll check out the MB site.
