Mondeo boot lock sticking - Jon Shaw
The boot lock on my 98 Mondeo GLX fails to open when unlocked and the button pushed. Its fine if the key is used. I think the mechanism is electric as if I lean on it for about 10s then it sometimes opens. I've tried switch cleaner in the lock which helped for about a day.
Is this a common problem? Any ideas on how to sort it out long term?

TIA

It is electrically switched. But with a genuine '98 you should never need to use the key. One press of the remote opens both driver's door and boot.

Well its a facelifted Mondeo registered in Aug 98 (S). The remote does unlock the boot and drivers door but to get the boot to pop open you need to press the button/lock, its this bit that isn't working.
Any further ideas?
TIA
