(Rear interior lights are a problem I've had and documented here; IIRC the solution for me was to resolder some dry joints in the switch block in the rear interior light unit. I have a spare unit now that I "fixed" in beige)

Back on boot latch switches. They are just held in by a plastic flap/clip and are dead easy to replace, just can't recall if you can do that in situ.
My problem was the plastic parts that actuate the switch, they broke and jammed the latch.
Here's 2 good ones I have immediately to hand:
