- 2003 C200 Kompressor Coupe 1.8L
Hi guys,
I cannot open the boot/trunk on my late 2003 C200 Coupe. Every time I try to open it by hand, there seems to be no response and I can't remember whether it is supposed to make some electric whirring noise or not when you use the handle. Assuming it is supposed to make this noise, which I cannot hear, I am guessing it has something to do with the electrics/motor?
The only way I have managed to open the boot is through the inside by pulling the seats down and using the small red emergency boot opener from inside the boot to release the latch. My car does not have the open-trunk-from-key button and I could not see a keyhole outside to open the boot using the emergency key. So the only way to open the boot is via the handle on the outside which I am assuming is electric.
Is there a fuse or something that needs replacing? This is my first car, so I'd appreciate any help/advice in as non-technical terms as possible.
Would really appreciate any help/advice. I can also send any pictures if you ever need.
Thank you
