Our 2008 Mini boot switch seems to have stopped working. The boot can still be opened with the keyfob and the latch can be seem to work when using the keyfob. I guess the boot switch has just failed (the number plate lights in the assembly are still working so power is getting there)
The only thing is, the switch itself is sealed into the strip assembly, with plastic welded edges and a sealed rubber switch cover, which is good sense for waterproofing but means repair is tricky!
Before I hack this apart, has anyone done this? I'm not sure why a switch would stop working as it 'feels' ok, but once I start dismantling it theres no going back, unless I buy a whole new assembly.
