My boot wouldnt open at all.
tried a few things then gave up and Ford garage fixed it quick- had to replace the GEM unit which was about £45. I dont know how much 2nd hand but you could try, they are easy to get to- now that I know!

I had the same problem on a 53 plate Mondeo a few years back. It needed a new boot lock. That fixed the problem. For me it was under warranty.

It would not lock at all... left with Ford garage at the time for security whilst the part arrived.
