S40 - 05, Trunk won't open!

[Darryldalligan]

I have had the same problem with my S40 boot, you can remove the plastic trim that holds the boot switch and number plate lights and disconnect the connector from the wiring harness I was then able to check to see if the switch was working which It doesn't seem to be so I am hoping the new switch ordered will fix this. to get the boot open whilst the number plate trim is off you can just short out 2 pins on the wiring harness connector which basically does what the relay in the switch does this allowed me to check the rest of the wiring loom without climbing through the back of the car. hope this helps.
