Default Saff boot wires (I'm lazy)

I'm on a mad bodywork and welding kick right now and took the left and right side wiring off the bootlid to sand it down.

Left side was for the lock/open switch. The right side was blanked off with 3 leads. There is no light in the bootlid, no power release. WTH is this 3 wire loom for then?

(Yes, I'm too lazy to trace it, seems a simple answer)

Just a guess earth and live for heated rear screen, and another wire for mercury switch that operates the light in the boot(it earths out this wire).

Doubt it's the heated rear screen since the wires are actually in the boot lid. But mercury switch seems right tabetha, amazed I didn't think of it myself.

Electrics will be the last grueling stage of the resto.
