Boot opening mechanism

I have a 2016 Ford Focus Titanium X.  I bought the car 3 months ago and recently I went to a garage to have the number plate lights upgraded to LED.  This didn't happen since I bought the wrong bulbs and they're already LED in there.  Since then I can lock the car using the double press function on the key fob, but when I come to the car later, unlock it and get in it and turn it on there's a message on the display to say the Luggage Compartment is open.  I am able to close the boot and not be able to force it open and when I press the locking mechanism from inside the car it locks the doors & boot.  I have swapped the key fob battery and the buttons but unable to switch the circuit board as the spare key went for a bath in the washing machine and hasn't worked since!!!  Anybody got any ideas on what could be happening here?  Also must add the boot lid also houses the reversing camera and there's no issues with that aspect of the boot lid.

    Its usually the switch above the rear number plate which you use to open the boot that needs replacing.

    7 posts in which they claim to own 5 different vehicles:

    2010 Cupra R.
    78 restoration of some sort
    2014 Focus
    2019 Portage Kuga 
    MK6 Fiesta

    We should expect a wealth of knowledge from them but I can't help thinking it would have been better if they were a  OPW 😀
