u13 boot not opening
« on: Feb 8, 2011, 05:16PM »
my boot isnt opening
been like that for around 2 weeks
when i lift the lever nothing happens
tried to get someone 2 push down on the boot
still not working
cant use the external key as its been shaved by the previous owner
is there anyway to open to boot from the inside?
i have removed the rear seat and had a look though nothing
and the rear seat hole is 2 small to take things out of the boot

May sound dumb but try getting in the boot from the behind the seat and try puting a screwdriver in the Catch and see if it pop's open.

ive though about that
but the opening isnt very big
between rear seat and boot
prob 30cmx30cm
its not like a u12 pintara which u can put ure full body though the back seat

just got an idea.
Un Bolt the screws on the Hinge arms and maybe that will Jimmy the lock open and release.
Allways worth a try

Can you look at the handle for the release?  It might be there and just have to find the lead and pull on it. Either that or if you can see the latch through the small holes you may be able to reach through with something to flick it. If you boot is full of crap it may just be something fouling on the latch. So hard tight turns or same thing. Just try and move the stuff to see the latch.

Now that you're in there's a latch near the lock/mechanism in the boot that I have hit before and it stops the boot from opening with the lever next to the seat. Unless its a broken cable or something...

Only done it a few times and from memory it has a bit of black plastic on the end like its been dipped.  One of the other guys might be able to explain it a bit better if that doesn't make sense.  Hopefully this helps!

Cheers

lol... seriously, heaps of older nissan's have the badge-lock combo, S13's are the first thing that comes to mind.

Can't believe you didn't figure that out sooner mate! :)

Look at the inside bottom lip of the boot, there will be a rectangular hole near the latch, pull the lever in here up and your remote boot release lever should start working.
