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:
Took out the "Central Locking Alarm System and and Interior Lights Control Module" and found 2 dry joints. Soldered them up and interior lights in the boot work now. But still when unlocking rear lights don't come on (as I write this loose plug maybe?). Another thing, alarm horn doesn't work. There is 12v supply but when locking/unlocking there is only 0.03v
