When the tailgate does not make contact and won't open from the outside, access the inside of the boot by folding down the rear seats. Inside the tailgate, there are two handles with a hex screw on each, which you need to unscrew.

Once done, you can remove the tailgate panel because, after removing the two screws, it is only held in place by clips. Unscrew the two screws of the switch, then exit the cabin.

Disconnect the connector as shown in the video and open the housing of the external switch with a screwdriver and replace it (also do a bit of cleaning). Reconnect the connector, refit the panel, and you're done.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
