2011 - 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Trunk Release Switch Repair (or License Lamp Replacement)

This video deals with repair of a rear trunk release switch on 2011 2012 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze first generation design sedans. This micro switch is a common electrical failure on these models. This procedure would also apply to how to replace the license lamps / bulbs and lens housings as the parts are accessed the same way.

Torque values: For the 10mm nuts it is 62 in lbs. For the 7mm bolts attaching the lift handle (which note in the comments I installed backwards initially and corrected off camera) there is no torque value. The service manual note for these two is "hand tighten only".
