This happened me with my Ssangyong Rodius. It had no key slot either. I'm not sure how we fixed it but eventually it just worked again. May have been some diddle with the central locking or it was maybe under use made it stick but if you don't find an immediate solution it may still work in time anyway. Hope this helps

Not sure how old your post is, but have you tried turning your lock so that the part where the key goes in is horizontal? If it's vertical then it's only operated by the key itself. It took me 3.5 years to work this out :-D

Likely broken wires somewhere or a failing module. You need an auto electrician or auto locksmith with a pro grade scan tool computer to diagnose.

Vauxhall meriva 2011 central locking boot wont open
This is a common issue that happens because prolonged exposure to moisture can corrode the tailgate switch. This moisture can also seep into the lock sensor, so a thorough cleanup is necessary. It would be best to go to the dealer to fix this issue.

I have a Vauxhall meriva 2010 model. My tailgate lock is not opening checked fuse all is ok anyone can help to solve the problem.
Do you park it in the open air? If so, it might be water ingress or damp affecting the electric-mechanism in the tailgate lock. If so, dry it out - hair dryer might help.

Where is the fuel pump relay on a 2004 vauxhall meriva
It is on the passenger side of the engine compartment under the wiper panel. its deep in because of the body design. you'll see a relay box. It should click on and then quickly off when the key is turned to run without starting the engine
