How to trick the boot switch?

[j_mcvic]

Hello,

Is it possible to trick the boot switch to think it’s closed?

I’ve got a b7 A4 Avant and the onboard computer thinks the boots open, which means I can’t get any onboard info and also I can’t get the alarm to activate.

Is it possible to trick the boot switch temporarily to think it’s closed until I can get a new boot switch?

Thanks
Jamie

Short/open position switch circuit as required. Ideally confirm status via live data but dash will also report, of course.
