Hey Everyone!!!

Im assuming its a motor/actuator.
Is there a way to manually open it for now? I dont mind leaving it unlocked for now but i would love to able to access my trunk 😂😂

Since 2001 cars have needed a way to prevent getting locked in the trunk. But since the parcel shelf can be pushed up and the rear seat fold down pulls are in the trunk I think that satisfies that requirement.
If it was me gently pry up your parcel shelf, and fold down the single seat side of the rear seat. Load your groceries from the rear side door then.
Should be able to pull the "carpet" panel off the hatch to get at the inner workings to unlock it.

Im sure i can get the trim panel off without any issues..... I just wish there was a step by step guide somewhere on how to manually unlock the hatch.
Im pretty confident that its the motor/actuator.....However, I dont feel like spending hundreds of dollars to fix it, if i can get it to an unlocked state..... Im not overly concerned with someone going into my hatch area.....
I have a couple questions for you:
1. Do you have the FAST key with pushbutton start?
2. How's the battery on that holding up? Are you getting any warning lights for the immobilizer on your dash upon engine start?
Not sure if you are trying to lock/unlock using your key or using interior switch on the door... A weak FAST key battery can cause the same symptoms.

Not sure about the snide california comment but i pulled the black trim carpet off to expose the inner workings.....
I do not see any way to manipulate the lock..... Its really tight in there. Any other suggestions on what to look for? or what im specifically trying to push/pry to get it to release?
