I know but once I trace it back to the multi pin in the side of the boot I just cant get it to work? I think I will have to fit a new cable and thread it along side the existing one
I did this a few weeks ago...
Get into the tail flap. The two wires going into the switch (with the wee plug on). Splice new wires into those and take them to wherever you want the new switch.
(I just wanted to be able to open the back from the inside...) You need a contact and release type button. I got this from 12volt Planet sales@12voltplanet.co.uk

If you trace those wires back I'm sure you will be able to splice into them before they go into the tail gate.
Also seems to make a more satisfying clunk from inside
