Does it work when the parking lights are on?

According to the owners manualy you slide it in the direction of the arrow and it pops out. But I didn't have any luck getting mine out, but then I didn't try very hard.

Is the switch mounted correctly (as the panel beaters may have removed it to paint).

The switch is attached to the boot lock. If you look behind the trim at the rear of the boot you'll be able to see it

Slide and pull down a bit, its quite hard to get out, comes out at about the same moment you think you are going to break it
