There is a switch in the trunk, that will close when the trunk is closed. This switch probably has become loose and out of adjustment, failing to work when trunk is closed. Find and readjust the trunk open\closed sensor.

SOURCE: Cannot open trunk on 2002 new Beetle

do the rear seat have a fold down section or a little door behind center arm rest that you can get in to pull the emergency release handle inside? I don't know anything about this car specifically but maybe this will help.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/matthew_d24b835e574ef6ca

SOURCE: The trunk of my 2007 Eos convertible won't close

i havent ever had this problem but i'm familiar with the eos so i can say almost undoubtedly that the you have a bad trunk latch. there is a switch in the trunk latch that tells it if it's closed or open and i'm guessing that the switch is bad. once the switch tells the car that the trunk is closed, it runs the motor that close the trunk fully.

however, i say again that i've never had this problem on an eos so there is a fair amount of room for other issues. volkswagens are rather complicate and use a lot of different switches and such in the convertible top. also, the only way to know for sure is to bring your vehicle to the vw dealer becuase only the vw 5051 scan tool is capable of reading the inputs and outputs of the convertible top control module and this is what is required to properly diagnose the problem. don't waste your time throwing parts at it, the dealer should be able to give you a 100% positive diagnosis with one hours labor (about $90)

Check the trunk lock, maybe the lock micro switch is bad and giving the wrong lock position.

Try opening the trunk using the same key used for the ignition.
The key hole is next to the passenger side taillight

Are you gettin a "trunk ajar" light and the trunk is closed? If so, probably the indicator switch is defective. It's on the inside driver's side of the trunk. (The remote will not work if the trunk is open or if the switch is defective & not contacting the stopper properly.)

Red light indicator on . It says "Boot Open" What is this?

"Boot Open" is how they say "Your Trunk is Open" in the UK.

If your trunk isn't open, then the switch that indicates the trunk is closed may be bad.

Instrument cluster indicates door ajar but there is not

The door latch has a switch built into it to replace the old door jamb switch. If the switch is faulty the system will think the door is ajar. A scanner will show an open switch.

YOU SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY.

2000 outback trunk indicator light won't go out

Check the switch plunger. If it is broken and does not depress when the door is closed, it will continue to act like it's open. Replace the switch if broken or faulty.

My trunk switch from inside wont open trunk

Yes, it has a fuse but I do not have a diagram unfortunately. Or it could be your indicator switch on the inside driver's side of the trunk. The remote will not work if the trunk is already open OR if the switch is bad/not contacting the stopper (at the base of the trunk) and falsley telling the PCM that the trunk is ajar. But if this were the problem, your should be getting a warning that your "trunk is ajar" from the onboard warning display on the guage cluster. The switch is cheesy...had to replace mine.
