Rear boot has gone mental!

Recently, I've noticed a half second delay when I pick my car and the boot locking. For example, I lock my car, and then half a second later, I hear the boot lock. I think nothing of it until I notice that my boot light no longer functions. I changed the bulb and switch and it still doesn't work. I also noticed that when the boot is open, the light on the dashboard to indicate an open door doesn't light up. What could the fault be? Whereabouts is the switch for the boot based? The car is a MKII PH2 1.6 Initiale. Thanks.

I fixed it! The rear boot catch had corroded connectors and a loose wire. I fixed the corrosion and soldered the wire back. Everything works as is now.
