[QUOTE="jarance, post: 401298, member: 21"] check the wiring for the number plate light and the actuator. There seem to be a cross wiring or shorting. Most probably cause by water ingress. Note: Number plate light turn on when you turn light to position "1". This give 12V supply to the boot number plate. Push button Switch for boot actuator is located near the number plate light. when you move or swing the boot, you are disturbing the wiring from the internal of the boot to the boot cover. Look for damage insulation of the wiring.. :o btw, champ, the above is a very good observation. it does help to solve the mystery. [/QUOTE]
