Automatic boot opening not working...

[leighmcgough]

Hi,

Sorry if this has been discussed at length... I did search but couldn't find it.

My 2004 Accord Estate 2.4L has the automatic boot open off the key fob... when I press it - it tries to open but doesn't...

The auto close off the boot button when it is opening still works...

I'm guessing its the motor? Any help/costs/parts required help would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Leigh

Does it move at all when opening? It should open but then close again (with beeping I think) if it encounters more resistance than normal.
This can also happen when the gas struts that help the motor start getting weak.
I'm sure there is a guide on here somewhere for replacing the struts.
