Exactly! I’ve spent fortunes on tools over the years, yet when I come to do something for myself like this I usually end up cocking it with bits of scrap wiring and pound shop tools cos I’ve none of my decent gear to hand 🤣
@@sally6457 no, but fortunately I have friends who are moderately more professional than me, who’re usually willing to let me borrow theirs when required.
you can get inside the boot and go behind the right side cover, where the wiring loom goes up to the boot-rubber cover and you can pull it downwards into the chassis without cutting it. also it is worth having a look in the numberplate light trim especially if you have the non led bulbs. i have seen damaged wiring in there or no voltage to one end to the other somewhere etc. (resistance check with a multi meter) the numberplate light holder was damaged on one, so only the bulb made the connection(if bulb goes bad the paralell circuit broken etc), the microswitch has gold plated metal parts inside unlikely to go bad, but the wires can be problematic at this age.
I had another issue with it recently and it was the wiring in the number plate lights and to the micro switch the switch. It’s in this other video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EoEjOxCHZ6E.html

Cant get into mine at all. Cluster thinks the boot is open and the key won't open it manually either...... Scrap that just managed to get into it manually with my spare key. I've noticed if I slam the boot the fob starts working again to open it.
