Default Boot, water and fuses

Does anyone know which fuse relates to the automatic boot release? It just stopped working a few weeks ago and I'm having to use the key


I probably won't use the boot much for a while anyway though as I decided to rip the carpet up today as it keeps getting wet.

This is what it looks like.






It's wet on this side as well but not on the other. Not sure where it's coming from and it's probably going to be a bit hard to tell in the damp weather

We've moved on from the leakiness and on to the fuse location now.

Vix the fuse is fuse no 26 in the under dash fuse box should be 15A colour white.

If fuse is OK then check the opener.

A bit more to help out.

Does the boot open if you press the button inside the car? If it does then there is a problem with the remote control unit.

If it does not then it's likely to be the solenoid on the boot release.

Given your water leak check the earth bonding on the boot release. (There are 3 wires that go to the boot release - it's the black one for earth. The black - yellow one is the power line and the black blue is the feed back to the boot light and dash light.)Does the boot light work OK? If not this is a sign of potential poor earth. Same goes for the little boot open light on the dashboard.
