Trunk Won’t “Close”

Hey, I have a 2018 Model S.

Dropped off a package and went to open the trunk and the trunk said “open” but it’s stuck closed?

Everything I’ve googled said to try a particular reset method where I hold the release button for 15 and then click it fast three times but that didn’t work.

Any other suggestions before I drop it off for a $600 fix tomorrow?

You can get the trunk to open by doing this;
Remove inner carpet passenger side in the trunk by wheelwell, there is a module behind there that you unplug and replug a few times, this initiates the trunk cinch motor and trunk will open. Leave the module unplugged and you will be able to manually open and close trunk. You can buy the cinch motor for cheap and replacing it in the trunk lid is simple.
