    E46 FL Boot opening microswitch

    Hello
    I got problem, my trunk not opening from the microswitch @boot.
    I ordered new original lid? with microswitch and lights etc, still doesnt work.
    Plate lights work fine, wires in rubber boot are fine.
    I dont have that "anti-thief" switch at luggage.
    Open fines when using remote key.
    Any other places to check wires or how to test with multimeter.
    Or is it possible, that it is coded out with INPA?

    sorry for delay
    Checked all the cables with multimeter
    It gets signal(beep with multimeter) from lid connector to rubber boot and from rubber boot to next connection in trunk, near battery.
    is there any options to look with NCS in gm5?
    Should there be any voltage all the time to the wire?

    We would always open the harness in inspect at the hinges and a little beyond that into the car. Another common failure is the wiring the goes up along the drives side of the roof to the latches

    Wire is okay from trunk lid connector to inside the trunk, near battery, behind cover
    could you point me any other places to check?
