I am only guessing and going on historical knowledge, but most of the time it is just down to rust forming on the electrical parts.
I have often had to use a bit of emery paper to clean connectors up to get them to work.
Do you have a multimeter or a bulb on a wire to test the plug (I can't remember if you can get access through the inside or not)?
If that doesn't fix it, then look at things like the wiring between the boot lid and the body to see for damage.
I'm not sure if the wiring if bridged off the rear lights or independently, but an auto electrician could sort any broken wires very cheaply if you get really stuck.
Get involved in the forum and get yourself to a meet and I'm sure someone will be able to point you in the right direction.

if its an estate car mine had a similar problem and it was traced back to the wiring loom, where it channels through the hinge (top left as you look at it) and the wire had rubbed through causing a short. it might be worth a quick look!!!
If it's a P2, I have a spare tailgate in a shed somewhere, you're welcome to the loom from it.
