The boot light runs off a contact inside the tailgate, pop the interior trim off and you should see a single wire going to a white bullet shaped contact, if its come off the mounting tang it may be you're problem

Yep it's a tilt switch, they go a bit flaky every now and again.

Think Peugeot went a bit French with the design of the glovebox....look at all that lid, & what do you get when you open it?!

Also...the pivots that the lid swings on fit in specially shaped locations...you'll probably find, like mine, that part of the plastic in this bizarre design has broken away.

I think I've got a working boot light tilt switch somewhere if you need it.

New one from Pug costs about £4 (boot light switch), picked one up a few weeks ago. Wish I'd known this before spending ages trying to fix the old one!

Was a bit bent dusted it off and screwed it on tighter. So far so good....... useful to know
