Thanks Niko. It worked. Boot lifted enough for me to get to the Phillips screw underneath.

Reevesy. I thought about just grounding the wire but the wife got on my case about making it legal, which swayed my decision.

Anyway it's done now. All connected and legal

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Much appreciated.

Thanks Niko. Will give it another go. What did you mean by "a relay will do same job"?

Hi Niko. It is a MY12 sedan, not a hatch. Have tried to pull up on the handbrake boot but it feels like the plastic might break. Is there a trick to getting it out?

Thanks Kong. You're the only one to reply so thanks for making the effort. How did you know the answer?
