Answer
Hi Starr,
I assume that you replaced fuse 19 and that you verified that it was showing 12v on both sides of it. The deck lid release switch would then be something to check. You should find 12v on the pink wire, and when you close the switch it should show 12v on black/white wire. From there it goes on the black/white to pin 1 of the gray plug of the body control module under the dash on the rear side of the dash fuse box. The body control module is then supposed to apply 12v to the black/white wire that runs to the rear at the deck lid release solenoid and that should click and open the latch. So have a helper try to release the lid while you measure for voltage and listen at the solenoid in the rear when it is positioned in the locked configuration. The black wire at the solenoid should be grounded to the chassis nearby. It thus could be the solenoid, the release switch, the body control module, or the wires that I listed not being properly conducting. You will need to trace the circuit using a 12v glow light or a voltmeter.
