Boot Lid Handle

   523i E39

My boot lid no longer opens when I press the handle only with the key or from inside the car. I have checked the switch in the handle and it makes a circuit when pressed, could the handle/switch still be faulty.

	The most usual problem with these is that the actuator fails, its part 23 on the link below. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=DD32&mospi d=47539&btnr=41_0055&hg=41&fg=60

	The problem i've had is that the rubber cover pushes inside the hole keeping the switch pressed all the time. You need to pop the whole thing out and reseat the rubber.
