Truck release switch help please.

I went to use my trunk switch on the console between the power windows and when sliding the switch back instead of hearing the pop of the lid releasing I was greeted with an unsettling rapid buzz/clicking sound followed by a blown fuse (acc if I am seeing correctly) replaced to fuse just to have it happen again, does anyone have any suggestions on what the issue could be? Many thanks in advance.

It could be the relay that's under your console.

I'm also going to go with the relay under the console.
