trunk does not latch?

It looks like the latch is closed and the activation cable is off, or the latch is broken. Please go over this guide to help release the latch you will need to pull the cable attachment on the trunk latch while following the guide:

Here is how to replace the latch if it is broken. Also, I would check the striker adjustment as well. Thanks for the images they help. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

Using my hand, I returned the cable back and forth and it works. The latch is open. I adjusted the striker to be up but still did not close. Removed the striker and locked it to latch and it locked. No matter what I do I cannot get it to lock when it's on. I adjusted it right left up and down nothing works.

I would replace the latch, it sounds like it is bad.

But the latch latches when i move it by hand and locks, and when i attach the striker to it after i remove it it latches too.

Okay, that sounds like the latch is good. It must be an adjustment issue then can you upload a video of the problem?
