How to repair the trunk release button cheaply on a Mini R56

Model: Mini Mini R56, R57, R55 - Years 2007-2014

One fault that the Mini often has is the tailgate button, which is often left as it is because it costs too much to change. In this video we will see how to change it with very little expense and a little manual skill. We start by unscrewing the Phillips screws (four in total) and then disassembling the piece, they are all clips so it's not difficult. However, there is a part where you need to be careful: cut the heat-sealed part, because underneath is the circuit and if you cut it there is trouble. The button that was mounted in the video is momentary pressure, like those of the horn. Now comes the best part because you have to be able to redo all the wiring. In the video he replaced the ceiling lights with the LED model. Put everything back together and now it not only opens, but it also has a beautiful light.
