mondeo estate sci ghia x 2004 - central locking - bucca

been on holiday for 3 weeks returned to start car, started fine but all needles on speedo and rev counter went over to max ,presume computer resetting as trip computer went back to zero also.

problem is now every time i start the car the boot release opens the boot resulting in me having to get out and close the boot , strange ,any ideas welcome.

sounds like the GEM module needs replacing. I had the dealer do it, but I think you could do it yourseld.

When all the gauges give a full sweep on start up,this is usually an indicatation of low battery voltage.I would suspect the battery is past its prime.Get this sorted first .The Gems modules rarely give trouble on these.hth

put in garage and they said it was the boot switch in boot so disconected it.

cant open boot from out side now but it still works from remote or by pushing button on dash so waste of money fixing it
