cant open trunk xf 2011
Hello,
I followed the posts and checked all wires but all looks good. I'm not able to open the trunk with any electrical button,, only mechanically with key. when I push the button on the trunk I don't hear any noise. the light in the trunk is working.
Can someone help what fuse is for rear lock, I check on net and it says it is the one in the trunk fuse box, fuse 10, but not very sure if this is really the one.

I have checked all the fuses in the trunk physically and with a meter. All good.

There is a relay which controls the trunk release. Although I seem to have 2 diagrams showing different locations in the trunk, so I'm not sure which one would apply to your car.
The best way to test it would be to use a screwdriver to close the lock with the trunk lifted, then test the button release.
It should be a black/violet relay though, so maybe borrow one from another location for testing.
There is also a micro switch which can affect this which is located in the lock mechanism.

Same xf boot latch problem
I think our vehicles differ. I have the 2012 face-lift XF with the soft close boot/trunk. The actuator actually draws the boot in when I shut is slightly, which suggests the actuator may still be functional and getting some form or power and signal. But when I press all the electronic buttons to open the truck,

I would like to know how you got on before I go and buy a new latch.

Hi. Did you ever resolve this? I have the same model with the soft close. 2012 xf facelift. Same issue. Was it a relay problem? I have the same, No response from latch using any buttons. Opens manually with key. Removed harness between boot and car and good continuity on the cables. The 5 pin plug to the latch has 4 wires. There's 12v between wire 1,3 and 2,3. Nothing between 3,4. With plug disconnected, on the car side of the plug, checked for any change in signals between all the 4 wires when release button is pressed and no change. (Perhaps a signal is needed from a microswitch in the latch for this test to work? )
I would like to know how you got on before I go and buy a new latch.

Was this ever resolved? I also have the facelift with soft close. Latch will only open manually with key. I took a chance and got a new latch but no joy. Checked the harness between boot-lid and car for any wire breaks and continuity was all good. Does anyone know where the relay is for opening the boot on this model?
