2007 A6 Avant

Recently had this problem and eventually sorted as follows

Dash was showing tailgate open and when checked it was securely shut, alarm started going off at odd times and we eventually disconnected it

Problem was identified as a leak inside the pump for the rear scoosher/wash wipe stuff

With the trim removed you could see water dripping from pump casing and rust on securing screws. replacing pump solved the issue

I assume drips were causing a short hence 'boot open' signal In hindsight I reckon one of the two jets wasn't working so that's worth looking at before you start taking bits apart, maybe also check for dampness where the catch engages
