Location of trunk lid position sensor
Can someone help me locate a diagram and picture of the location of the trunk lid position sensor in a 2015 S 550 Edition 1 coupe.
Thank you.

Here is my issue-
Ongoing issue with 2015 edition one coupe. The trunk will pop open as it should however it does not raise and I can hear what sounds like a motor running which I assume is what would normally raise/lower the lid. After manually fully raising the lid I can see the red close/lock buttons and the trunk interior lights are not illuminated. I then have to manually close the lid and it latches. I have had it at the dealer several times and they reprogram or something and it works for a while but then reverts to this scenario. They are now suggesting they go on a hunt to try to find the problem which isn't very confidence inspiring. Suggestions?

Off the wall, but try this...
There is a lighted, green button in the middle of the trunk lid on the inside. This is to open the trunk from the inside.
Push that button - with the trunk open - fairly rapidly about a dozen times.
See if that 'resets' anything. It actually worked for me about a month ago and haven't had an issue since.
