Finally got around to pulling my trunk lid apart after using the fob to open the trunk for at least 3 months. I'm certainly not buying that whole assembly from GM, but haven't found much mention of any other options. Are there any options for improving the system? Please tell me there's an easy means of making it mechanical.

You don't have to buy the whole assembly.....the switch is sold independent of the chrome trim.

I believe you are looking for this:

GM Part #95270497

LICENSE LAMP | Genuine GM | 95270497

The switch and plate lights are all one unit.

Yes, the harness containing the trunk switch and license plate lights is sold separate of the trim, for $90. I have to pursue the practicality of making it mechanical before I pay that for something that shouldn't be broke yet.

GM has updated the harness and switch so hopefully that won't be an issue again.
