Whatever you do "DON"T SLAM IT DOWN". otherwise there is no trick to it. If the inside switch dose not release the hatch check the fuse first. Second, download the instruction for the hatch repair from TopDownSolutions to see what you are facing. Good luck.......
if turns out that your motor is done......a quick fix is to remove the rear cargo plastic that covers it,unbolt the whole thing and move it up so that the latch will catch... it what i did while waiting for a new motor to turn up.

If your motor burnt out we have brand new ones that will get it working again for you. here's a link to them on the site.
there is a trick you could try.. you can stick your finger down in the motor latch and get if the motor is still working it will gradually come back up and you can try shutting it again. sometimes when you shut it the trunk motor latch wont catch the trunk lid causing it not to shut or work.
I can open mine a few times but more than 3 times the trunk motor wont come up and i have to slam it shut, its the only way it will close and works fine after.

That is a good fix, with every slam of that hatch the cost of broken parts keep increasing.
i agree with the finger trick, when i first got my third gen i had a problem like that, i moved the motor all around, took it out, checked for power, then i put a pencil down it at school and like magic, it worked lol
i just replaced the reversing switch in mine (thanks to the guys at top-down-solutions!) because it would come up, but it wouldnt go back down. now its working like a charm (knock on wood!) but that was just one of the things to check off on my long list of stuff to fix on this car lol, too bad its a daily driver....
