Vauxhall Insignia boot access & faulty boot switch replacement 

Worked for me. Very helpful, especially showing how to open it from inside as I don't have the button on my key. Thanks.

This is a very helpful video and made the job of changing the boot lid switch itself quite easy to carry out. I had more of an issue with emptying the boot Thank you Night Hawk

Just used this to change mine (21/07/23) and it went as flawlessly as within the video. Thanks for the great direction. Excellent work

I've just finished replacing my wife's car boot switch using your excellent video. I can't thank you enough for sharing this. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for the very clear instructions. The hardest bits were getting the plastic cover off the lock and putting the felted plastic part on at the end. Job done!

A great video, just about to trade my Insignia in when the boot catch failed. Thankfully I came across your video and got the issue fixed very quickly. Many thanks for sharing

Great video. Followed the steps easily and replaced my boot release switch in under 20 minutes. Thanks for uploading.

Thanks for the video. It was really helpful. I had to pay the price in blood as when I removed the door stop caps, the screwdriver went straight into my hand ✋️. All the best!

Just done our two Insignias using this tutorial. Went near enough perfectly. Thank you for your help.

This is a wonderful video. Thank you for taking the trouble to upload it Paul. I wanted to confirm and reassure myself that the switch was faulty before ordering a new one. This can be done after the internal tailgate trim has been removed, because it's easy to access the back of the switch even before removing the chrome trim. All you have to do is find the back of the switch, and pull off the little plug from it, shown later in your video. There are two wires coming from the the plug. Mine had a black and a yellow wire. Shorting these two together with a jumping link caused a clunk and the lock opened. _Not_ the plug with three wires, that one is for the boot lock solenoid. Being me, I had to investigate what the problem had been with the switch. I removed the flexible boot held in place by some clips and some sealant which had dried out, scraped away the potting compound, and there is a tiny little crappy pushbutton switch embedded inside the assembly. This has a little dome which collapses when you push it to make contact. It was just a little bit corroded. I was going to try to clean it, but one of the legs snapped off so I can't say whether or not that would have worked.

Worked great easy job on my vauxhall Insignia

Thank you so much for putting this video on. You made it look really simple, and it was! Just did mine step by step. Much appreciated!

Thanks for this video. I fit the switch with no issues after watching this

Great guide. The hardest bit was getting the latch cover off... I couldn't, so had to slide the boot hatch liner over it.

short and to the point, great instruction, thanks a lot !!! dziękuję !!!

Thank you so much this video has been a massive help for me and save me a lot of time and stress

Cheers for this. Done in no time. 👌🏼

Very helpful, thank you!

Brill cheers matey

I used to pop out the switch cut off the microswitch part & short the 2 wires together & hey presto boot open no need to climb in back or clear out people's junk.

Great video. I rReplaced the switch, and the latch, but now I keep getting a boot lid open warning even though everything is working fine

Hi great video, replaced and working. Only thing is it sounds a bit clunky when I open it, any ideas??

Great video thank you. Is that the same button for a Vauxhall cascada keep op the great work

Buen video, de gran ayuda.

Wow..... Is this procedure the same for the estate version? Ours has an electric tailgate that goes all the way up/down. It's been temperamental for about a year and recently its just stopped working and wouldn't open ar all. Is the estate version designed the same as the sedan?

Brilliant thank you

very helpful, thx

I’ve done this twice and it always stops working after a few weeks. Any ideas?

This ok on a insignia, up to 11 plate maybe 12 or 13 , but from 14 onwards it is totally different,, There are 7 bolts, all 7 m, it is slightly different and a little more involved from a 14 plate onwards,,

Is the switch the same for 2015 sports tourer?

Hi, brilliantly explained. Would you post the link to the eBay seller please...

👍👍👍

Great video?thanjs?couple or random questions,that gun is it 1/2 inch with adapter for smaller bolts,and where did you get that huge canopy that car is under?it’s great

Iv done all that replaced new switch it worked twice then not work anymore

Must be a common problem with insignia boot switches I just had to fold seats to open mine.

I changed the switch like the video shows great video, but the boot still won't open any ideas??

Wish removing it on a Tourer would be as easy as on yours :c

Is it the same on a tourer please

This would be helpful but the inside of my vehicle bears no resemblance to the video. I cannot locate anything that looks like a'boot release catch'

Nothing like my Vauxhall insignia

Insignua boot lid

So slightly different screw layout on my 2017 insignia 7 in total ( 6 in a straight line and 1 in centre by logo ) and two white things ( which I've no idea how th get off so I just pulled at them and they come through undamaged unfortunately for me after replacing switch my boot still won open 🫣
