pompeyal Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hi, would anyone be able to post up a wiring diagram for the boot latch please, cheers Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hello Alan, Did you check the wiring for breaks/shorts where it does through the flexible harness visible when you open the boot? Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompeyal Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hi Magnet, I have followed each of the wires from their plugs ( Barrel, Actuator, Latch and Lift button ) right back until they go into the main bound loom at the rear N/S wheel arch, I would like to know where the red/yellow wire terminates as this is the one that is showing a short. All of the micro switches are correctly functioning and the actuator works correctly. I have removed all of the connectors from the switches and actuator and checked with a meter all of the cables to earth, all of the brown cables read short to earth which is correct along with the red/yellow which shows short to earth which is not correct, the remaining cables are open circuit which is correct.

Magnet Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 OK Alan. I really can't point you in any other direction apart from the one most troublesome point for boot electrics issues, so I guess that's me done. As a matter of interest, I've just Googled "Audi A4 cabriolet boot lock wiring diagram" and came up with a few examples on there - some with the colour codes as well, but I guess you've been there. Good luck, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompeyal Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hi Gareth Have you got the URL for that find, I haven't had too much success. Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Thanks Paul, What the heck is a URL!? - no don't tell me, I'm just too old! When I first started working the technology to drive a now simple pocket calculator would have taken a 12ft. X 12ft room with computer hardware in cabinets from floor to ceiling and 2ft deep. No room for URLs in there! Try Googling the exact search I mentioned and you will find it under Images. Good luck, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
