Could be a broken cable, especially with no resistance. That may cause the solenoid to malfunction as well looking at the factory manual.

There is an emergency trunk release cable, separate from the main one which would still work. You may be able to slip a hand under the bumper cover (between the muffler and the bumper) and 'fish' around for it, a steel cable w/ a loop. If not, you'll have to remove the bumper cover to get at it. Either way, in order to fix it, you're gonna have to get inside.

If you pm me with an email addy, I can send you the pages from the repair manual covering replacement.
