the wife was driving our '52 V6 mondeo today and noticed the door open warning light was open.

Its now transpired that the tailgate will not lock at all. I first thought it may be a fuse but it wont lock on the key either.

Any suggestions guys ?

hi, i had this problem last year, had to buy a new boot lock from ford.
really easy to fit, remove plastic cover and the whole assembly un-screws with three screws. Unplug the elceric then re-fit new assembly.
new part was about Â£45

Thanks for the reply mate.

I'll get a boot lock ordered. Do you get a new key with the lock ?

no, its only the piece behind the lock that needs replacing, so no need to change actual barrel thus keeping same key.
