This is a very helpful video and made the job of changing the boot lid switch itself quite easy to carry out. I had more of an issue with emptying the boot Thank you Night Hawk

This is a wonderful video. Thank you for taking the trouble to upload it Paul. I wanted to confirm and reassure myself that the switch was faulty before ordering a new one. This can be done after the internal tailgate trim has been removed, because it's easy to access the back of the switch even before removing the chrome trim. All you have to do is find the back of the switch, and pull off the little plug from it, shown later in your video. There are two wires coming from the the plug. Mine had a black and a yellow wire. Shorting these two together with a jumping link caused a clunk and the lock opened. _Not_ the plug with three wires, that one is for the boot lock solenoid. Being me, I had to investigate what the problem had been with the switch. I removed the flexible boot held in place by some clips and some sealant which had dried out, scraped away the potting compound, and there is a tiny little crappy pushbutton switch embedded inside the assembly. This has a little dome which collapses when you push it to make contact. It was just a little bit corroded. I was going to try to clean it, but one of the legs snapped off so I can't say whether or not that would have worked.

@@PaulsTechChannel I have done a temporary bodge with a small toggle switch, while I wait for a cheap Ebay replacement to come from China; £3.81 including postage. I just kept the 2-pin plug, used the existing tails of the wires from the plug, soldered the toggle switch onto them and insulated the connections to make sure they don't short to the metal bodywork. It will do fine for now.

I believe he has the plastic cover off in the video. It also threw me. If you look very closely inside the boot where the lid meets the bumper, you can get a screw driver in there to release the catch.
