NIKH25 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 You could try some wd40 or grease on the latch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIKH25 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I would try getting someone else to try it while you're in the boot with the trim off to see what's happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fyfie5 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Hmm strange went to us the switch today and it's fully working again either the wd40 set in over night or it was just a fluke that it wasn't working yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
