Front Truck Lid Won't Unlock
 
Does anyone have this problem with my 2003 Boxster 2.7 liter.

I have an intermittent problem while opening my front truck lid via key fob or hood release switch located next to the driver's seat.

When activated, I can hear the locking mechanism actuate but the lid remains in the locked down position. :troll:

The problem is really apparent when it's hot outside and less apparent when ambient temperatures are mild to cold. I literally have to wait for the front of the car to cool down before trying again.

Can anyone offer a solution?

Thanks! :cheers:

Have you tried lubricating the latch mechanism? It usually works.

Can you explain how to conduct this maintenance?

I'm pretty handy with tools and I perform all maintenance projects for my Boxster myself.

Thanks
