If the rear boot lock does not activate when pressing the remote key button, check the wiring that runs through the rubber gaiter near the boot support strut: the repeated opening and closing of the boot can stress the cables, causing them to flex and potentially break over time.

Remove the rubber gaiter and inspect the cables, restoring continuity with ties or soldering, which should then be insulated with heat-shrink tubing or electrical tape.
