For about a year now my trunk release button in the dash hasn't worked. I mean I have gotten around it by just using the trunk release button on the key remote, but now it is just making me mad. I don't know if it is the button or if it could be something electrical with the wiring. I was thinking about just buying a new button but I wasn't sure if that would solve the problem. Anyone else having trouble with the button?
Trunk release button doesn't work

Thanks TerryB. Just brought a 2002 GHIA Focus and the boot release in the car wasn't working.
It works ok with the key in the boot lock and also by pressing the key fob button.... from following your advise and shaving a few mm off the three vanes on the rear of the button the boot realese button now works!
It must be that the white rubber boot behind the button wears a bit? and so pushing the button doesn't quite make it contact the switch. So shaving a few mm off these vanes allows the button to be pushed in slightly further and makes the switch work again.
Thanks
