An interesting issue has developed with the trunk release switches on the door frame of my 2002 Boxster...

During the winter, the front trunk release switch would occasionally activate without being touched -- I'd get out to shut the front trunk and, within a couple minutes, the switch would activate again and open the front trunk. It would stop misbehaving eventually, but now it refuses to work at all.

The rear trunk release switch still works, and I could still use the key fob to open both trunks.

Since the rear switch still works, I'm assuming it's not a fuse issue -- unless they're on different fuses.

Has anyone had this issue before and, if so, were you able to repair it yourself?
