The Problem with the Fiat 500 Boot Not Opening Anymore

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Checks and maintenance

The Fiat 500, being a few years old, often has the issue of the boot not opening from the remote. The reason is shown by a YouTuber who has already opened the boot from the inside and then disconnected the battery by removing the negative terminal. When lifting the boot, on the left side, you will find the flexible conduit containing all the electrical wires. Carefully remove it from its housing to avoid puncturing it, and discover that the wires inside - too short for the continuous use they undergo, which is the fault - have been severed. You need to patiently solder them back together using soldering wire and heat shrink tubing of various sizes.
