To complete the story using Silkie as a model, here is a diagram showing the pinouts of N10-3 and a series of photos showing where N10-3 is located (note Silkie is a RHD car):
Under the bonnet beside the battery is a box of electronics that contains N10-3 (together with other components such as the K40)
Taking the lid off the box shows a number of modules and one or two wires ...
This is N10-3 outlined in green:
If you gently tease the wires apart along the centre line on N10-3 you can see the cable you need (you may need to cut the cable tie to get more access):
N10-3 pin 54 is the fourth pin (second wire) from the left on this part of the connector as shown with the arrow:
The 'magic' that I did for
@steve pring was to use a multimeter lead to touch the metal connector at the end of the wire in pin location 54 and press the other end to the negative of the battery (you can use the ground point on the wing too). Holding the wire in this position Steve was then able to open the boot using the switch from inside the car to the point that the boot lid was fully open. He could then unlock the boot catch from the inside and pull the luggage cover into place.
