A simple, cost-effective fix for a common wear item that returns full functionality to your vehicle's tailgate operation. Function and Location This switch is part of the central locking and convenience system. When pressed, it sends an electrical signal to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM), which then activates the tailgate lock solenoid to release it. In the Vauxhall Insignia, this switch is typically located in one of two places: Exterior Switch: Integrated into the handle or lower trim on the tailgate itself. Interior Switch: Mounted on the driver's door panel or dashboard, allowing you to open the boot without leaving the vehicle. This replacement part is compatible with both locations, provided the original part number matches.

What's Included in the Box 1 x Tailgate Boot Release Switch Installation Guide (General Procedure) Disclaimer: This is a general guide. The exact steps may vary slightly. Disconnecting the vehicle battery is recommended for safety. For an Exterior Switch (on the tailgate): 1. Open the tailgate and locate the switch assembly. 2. Carefully pry around the edges of the old switch unit using a plastic trim removal tool to unclip it from the tailgate panel. Avoid using metal tools to prevent scratches. 3. Once the switch is loose, gently pull it out and disconnect the electrical connector by pressing the locking tab. 4. Connect the electrical connector to the new boot release switch. 5. Align the new switch and press firmly until it clicks securely into place in the panel. For an Interior Switch (on driver's door/dashboard): 1. Locate the switch panel. It may be part of a larger trim piece. 2. Carefully pry off the surrounding trim or the switch itself using a plastic tool. 3. Disconnect the electrical connector from the back of the old switch. 4. Connect the connector to the new switch. 5. Snap the new switch back into the trim and reinstall the trim panel if removed. Final Step: Reconnect the battery (if disconnected) and test the switch's functionality by pressing it to ensure the tailgate unlocks and opens (or the release mechanism activates). Important Notes, Warnings & Verification CRITICAL FITMENT CHECK: Before purchasing, you MUST verify that the part number on your old, removed switch is 13422268. Also, confirm your Vauxhall Insignia's exact model year (2009-2016) and body style (Hatchback or Saloon). An incorrect switch will not fit or function. This is an aftermarket replacement part. It is not manufactured by Vauxhall/Opel but is designed to OE specifications for fit and function. If the tailgate still does not operate after replacing the switch, the issue may lie elsewhere, such as a blown fuse, faulty lock solenoid, wiring problem, or issue with the Body Control Module (BCM). Handle the switch and connectors with care. Ensure the electrical connection is secure to prevent moisture ingress or intermittent contact. If you are uncomfortable performing this installation, consult a professional mechanic or auto electrician. Product color and finish are designed to match the original but may have slight visual variations.
