Boot showing open

[Johnnybz]

Hi, new to the forum. Just brought a 2010 c6 TDI e Avant & love it.  Unfortunately first problem...... My rear wiper jet was block & I think I've got water into my tailgate.  My boot is always showing open in the dash display now & boot lights are staying on for a prolonged period after locking the car (also my indicators don't flash anymore upon locking, I assume this is due to the fault). I'm going to strip the cover off the tailgate & see what I can but....wondered if anyone has come across this? I cannot see any contacts for the boot / rear lights anywhere?  Tia John.

I think it'll be the contacts or actuator. It'll definitely be because of the water.

Are these found within or around the rear light? Thanks.
