Boot release switch (not poppers)

[Jay カレー]

So I have an issue with the boot release. It’s a HR and I understand the DE had a switch up front which I don’t, just the bumper one. 
 

I’ve just received a replacement boot release assembly with an actuator (tested with 12v and it works so that’s good) as I think the original owner must have removed it for some reason?? 

 

However when I plug it in the release button still doesn’t do anything.
 

What I can understand is the wiring. It seems to go from the actuator red/blue and black wires down to the bumper where there’s a grey terminal plug.
 

From the plug it comes out black and red but doesn’t go to the boot switch it goes to the numberplate lights and two other wires green/white and pink go to the release switch???  

 

Any help would be amazing 😂 surely the Button hasn’t broken, I can hear it make contact when I press but just doesn’t do anything..

I’ve found a numberplate light and button assembly on eBay so fingers crossed!

UPDATE!! 
 

So the replacement switch arrived today and… THE BOOT SWITCH OPENS THE BOOT!!!

 

However…. It’s not 100% fixed so I suspect maybe the poppers need doing aswell but the actuator now works every time you press the button so very pleased with that

I couldn't follow any of this above, however happy your reappearing switch now works with the replacement actuator.
