Boot Opening?

[9690phil]

Any advice. Boot won't open using key fob, would it be boot related or key fob related.

Phil,I had the same problem once. I found that I had to hold the button in for 2-3 seconds before anything happened. Takes longer to work than the central locking.

Yes, I fell for the same thing and only figured it out after a couple of days of owing the car. God knows why it's not the same as the central locking duration but I am sure the Lexus boffins have a reason...

its so you dont open the boot accidentally, it can be adjusted by the dealer though

Great I'll try it when I get home next week

But on my last 430 it opened straight away??

Ahh I knew those boffins must have had a reason

also check the cylinder barrel etween the petrol flap and boot release pull is not pressed in

Mine does not work BUT it might now! Will try a longer press tomoz.

Sorry Mark, what do you mean by cylinder barrel?

[ambermarine]

Mark is getting is petrol flap solenoid mixed up with his boot opening solenoid.

Sorry Mark, what do you mean by cylinder barrel?

i meant the barrel which is between the fuel cap release and boot release situated in the cabin near the drivers right knee - if the barrel is pushed in it means the boot is locked and will only once by inserting the key and releasing the barrel

Sorry Mark

My misinterpretation.

Thanks - I really should read the manual more thoroughly.

Nope. Doesn't work of the fob by pressing button for long time, barrel is out not depressed in. Anymore suggestions.
