Boot Lock Won't Open

[MrrT]

Hi all,

New owner of a Honda e, 70 plate with 15kmiles. Tonight when leaving the house, the system flashed up saying the boot was a jar, so went and closed it. Now the handle won't open the boot at all.

Any ideas or has it happened to anyone? Is there a way to pop it from the inside?

Fantastic, thank you! Will give it a go tomorrow.

Just to double check, there are 2 buttons in the boot handle.

There is a larger one on the left which should open it.

There is a smaller one on the right which is to lock the car. Unless you've read the manual it might not be obvious.

To answer the original question, I've never had any trouble with the boot latch or even seen the warning... Perhaps manually opening it will reset the mechanism/switch and bring it back to life. Maybe it's never been used and the mech is stuck a little.

Thanks! Yeah the larger button wouldn't engage the lock, the smaller one would lock the whole car.

Strangely enough, opened the car this morning and the button/latch is working again. Wonder if it just needed time to reset.
