    Hello,
    When I open the boot (trunk) sometimes the boot light comes on but more often it doesn't. I can't see where the 'boot is open' switch is, I'm guessing it is near the boot catch / lock.

    Has anyone had to replace this switch? I was going to squirt some switch cleaner in first.
    Regards,
    John

    It is integrated into the latch mechanism inside the hatch.

    Thanks! eBay UK shows this:

    part has a screw on this side, hopefully the switch is accessible.
    Regards,
