The motor moves up and down in the housing. Several times the motor got stuck down on mine, to raise it up so it will latch the hatch there is a switch down inside the housing just click it up and the motor should rise. This is one possible cause.

Re: trunk not wanting to lock.... how can i fix??
i just had that problem yesterday, except my motor gears were strippped. i just disconnected the power to the motor and adjusted the lock where the trunk could close all the way without needing to be pulled down. i'll probably get a new motor assembly soon but thats a quick fix and it works well
