The reason why the rear hatch of a Mini does not open.

Model: Mini Mini R55, R57, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we see how to open the trunk of the Mini Cooper, which has no difficulty opening. We see this particular example where the trunk opens with the key but not from the handle: we have to remove the component from the car by removing the four bolts that hold it to the body; of course, we also remove the electrical connections and take the bar to see what's wrong. We need to separate the body from the electronic and mechanical parts. We see that the pin that should make the connection for the opening input does not touch. Unless you are an electronics expert and can repair the damaged circuit, the only solution is to replace the entire handle, which contains all the electronic and mechanical parts. For example, item B0BCJLBWN7 on Amazon, priced at 46.99 euros + 20.74 euros for shipping.
