Rear trunk motor humming?

Ok im home from school sick today and i wanted to check up on my baby and i open the trunk to take some pics and i go to shut the trunk and it makes it 3/4 the way closed and it sticks there and starts humming. is the motor going bad? how much does the motor cost and is it easy to replace? i have a 91 t/a ws6 305 tpi.

Thanks, Gary

ok i figured it out my self. the latch doesnt pull down all the way because it is worn down. or it could be the motor. anyway i wrapped duck tape around the trunk loop to make it thicker and the latch caught it.
