Hatch lid buzz

[the-real-skwigelf]

Hello, today I rolled over my ignition forward one click and my stereo turns on but there is a VERY LOUD buzzing from my hatch lock that lasts for about 15 seconds and shuts off. It also locks my trunk and my key wont work to unlock it. (it did everyday before this) If I roll my ignition forward and the noise is going I can pull the trunk lever on the floor and quick lift it up before it locks. Once the noise stops the tumbler is locked again. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? Also if I just unhook the power wire to the hatch motor will it manually open and close with the key and the floor lever and hopefully stop the buzzing from the motor?

I would guess you have a bad lock actuator for you hatch. It is binding up and that is why it is making the buzzing noise and you can't use your key to open it.
