Earth the boot popper to the tailgate
Run a fused posi feed to the switch
Run a single cable to the back of the car on the switched side of the switch
Connect to the posi side of your boot popper.

Press the button and look cool :cool: :grin:

if the rear wiper is removed can you use the wiper stalk to pop the boot?

actually might be a bit daft if you knock it accidentally when driving!

Cheers for that, I have the switch coming so going to use that but the stalk comment made me chuckle how may people have done that whilst driving hahaha
