Boot open button not working

Hi folks
Ive done a search and couldn't find what I was after.
Basically I can open the boot from the key or inside the car. But the exterior button doesn't work.
Any ideas what might be the answer to this as its annoying the crap out of me.

Cheers
Mick

Couple of micro-switches in there that may need replacing. Have a look at thisthread.

On mine, it wasn't the switches themselves. Instead it was the connection of switches to PCB which probably fails after too many stress cycles (especially if you're heavy handed!)
