Renault Wind boot lid does not open

[Judgemental]

The boot on my Wind will not open when release button pressed. I have read that this is due to water affecting the micro switch. Can this be cured or does it need changing? Car normally garaged but has spent wet week outside.

The first thing I'd do is to spray the switch are with a water repellant spray, allow it to dry and then try again. If you are lucky you may get a result and then you need to protect the switch with a waterproofing spray. If it doesn't work and you are happy with the wiring to the switch then yes it may need replacing.
