The latch on my trunk all of a suddent stopped working - it appears to be stuck in the open position. I can lower the trunk but it can be opened without operating any latches since the latch is no longer keeping it locked. Is there a way to fix it?

Check that the remote opening solenoid is not stuck open, can you hear a click when you hit the button? otherwise the lock may have failed, let me know what you see.
