Boot lid wont close

JX350,
I tried to close the latch with the boot open and it worked. But when I then opened the boot catch via the boot release button (on the boot or in the cabin) the latch opened but when I tried to close the boot it wouldn't latch. Would this have anything to do with my other issue with low battery power ?

Is the boot lock asm making the locking noise when you close it? It should whir and pull it closed when you drop the lid if it isn't then you may have a dead boot latch mechanism. When I broke mine I had a slight panic that I couldn't close the boot but a good slam solved it. A replacement latch mech fixed it about £75 on ebay.

I have just got my car car back from the auto electrician and been told all my Boot lid issues are being cause because of no battery power due to the alternator not charging the battery. He charged the battery and the boot lid catch opened and when I put the lid down it worked Fine. Awaiting arrival of new alternator on Monday and will fit it on Tuesday. Hopefully end of issues.
Thanks very much for your help folks.
