It's a button next to the gear shift.
It's on the dashboard near the steering wheel on later Fiestas - you need to be specific as to the year or Mk number.
boot
a crowbar will do it or a stillsaw
nope you have to keep using the key to open the boot
in the boot, under the carpet?
in your boot is a switch if you look at the boot when open is a 2 part switch one part in the boot and the other in the boot lid the switch conects when you close the lid on my ka it works the brake lite hi vise boot switch and rear wiper motor very bad designe i had to replace it or make a new wireing loom and do away with the switch hope this helps george
I've had the same problem, it appears to be a short on the boot release micro switch. I sprayed wd40 around the rubber that covers the boot lid manual release switch. It's been fine ever since.
In my case it was the button, and also the rear wiper not working. This solution worked for me: spray some (or a lot of) WD40 on the boot hinges, to release corrosion and get things working again (there's an electrical groud wire connected there).
i have the same car, do you mean the catch to release the front of the car so you can see the engine? that's a little red paddle under the steering wheel, pull it towards your knees.
Is it the mark 6? If so, there is a big circle button on the right hand side of the dash
it is behind the lights, accessed from inside the boot, behind the side covers.
In the wifes Zetec its in the boot inside the offside panel just to the side of the light cluster access, if you getb were i mean.
in the undercarrage cage beneath the boot, inside the boot there is a bolt you undo, then you get underneath and lift the cage a little a bit so you can pull the hook back and let the cage open to the floor.
