99 Boot Unlocking at random ! - jdall01

Hello there,

my car has developed a fault - your help would be greatly appreciated!

side story...
...The central locking key fob for my Ford Focus (W reg) stopped working a few months ago, however after receiving my car back from its MOT the other day it began functioning once more.

Anyway, I started up the engine, and the boot popped up?

It seems to happen when I unlock/or lock the car too - whether it be through pressing the central locking button or putting the key in to lock it.

I have no idea why, however someone mentioned that it is likely to be an electronic fault.

Any thoughts? It is becoming rather annoying having to go back round my car to close the boot!

thank you for your time.

I've had the same problem on my 05 C-Max. Rear hatch would open while stationary when all doors open and also while driving.
Took it into Fords, they diagnosed a faulty switch where you open the hatch. No problems since.
