you may have broken the spring in the lock mechanism. Or there might be something in the way :X check it and make sure nothing is hitting it. Have you installed taillights or for any reason removed the trunk liner and exposed the lock?

Its latched.
Unlatch it then close it.
You will have to unlatch it with the key and manually pull the latch out
with a bic pen or somehting like that....
Mine stays closed water resistant even though un-latched.
