Sounds like a possibility for the trunk latch actuator failure....

It could be either a mechanical bind, or an electrical problem.
Try it with the trunk lid open, and see if the actuator moves. If it does, but not when it'* closed, lube and adjust as necessary.
If it doesn't, it'* electrical. I've had both problems.

Some cars have a trunk swith lockout. This lockout is in the trunk. The remote, or the key will still open the trunk, but the lockout disables the trunk switch on the driver'* door.

I know the 93'* didn't have the valet switch, and I'm pretty certain the 94 didn't either. It'* in the glovebox if equipped, but that would typically disable BEFORE the relay, not the actuator. He can hear the relay clicking.

Nope the 95'* don't have this option either...
neither do the 87-91, 92-94.... I think it was an added item when GM made some small changes to the Body 96-99 <---- I guess we could say GM finally fixed some of the bugs that the 92-95 bonnies had... Note the word Some...

My '94 and my '92 didn't have it either, but they didn't have all available options, so, I thought I'd throw that out there just in case it could be something simple.
I'll try to be more sure next time...
