Slam it harder... lol
Ummm.... did you slam it one with the latch closed by accident and bent it?
My friend did that to his Stang, took me about 5 tries to bend it back to where it needed to be.

if I remember correctly when the ballast shorts out it smokes a fuse.
I cant remember what fuse number it is though, sorry.

Try hitting it with wd40, or checking around for a blockage, because removing the neon light does not affect the trunk lock in any way.

Yes it dissolves grease it is a penetrating oil. I would get some white lithium and lube it up.
Known as "the can with thousands of uses," WD-40 protects metal from rust and corrosion, penetrates stuck parts, displaces moisture, and lubricates just about anything. WD-40 is also great when it comes to cleaning grease, grime, and other marks from most surfaces.
