if the guts are gone, take a thin flat bladed screw driver and put it in the key hole as you would a key. Theres a little slot you want to get it in. Once in turn like a key.

Yea its the hatch release, and close down motor. like what the cadallics got. When you pull the trunk down to a certain point, you here a click, and then you stop closing it, the motor does the rest closing it and opening it.

Most auto parts stores will carry the lock cylinder with key for the trunk.
