The two wires to that switch can be jumped to see if the release will work. If it does you need a new switch release button. Most cars in a wrecking yard, Buick or Cadillac are the same switch. It is doubtful to get a new replacement one any longer
If the the technique in jumping the wires do not work the solenoid inside the trunk is at fault instead. Of course a used part will have to be found for this

This info below is taken from the link above. It could be the trunk release has been deactivated,
http://www.lexusofpleasanton.com - Many luxury cars feature an electronic trunk release button to open your trunk lid. However as a security feature, all Lexus sedans feature a Valet Function to "lock" out access to your trunk. A common mistake is accidently activating this feature when reaching into the glove compartment. Here are the basics on how to use this convenient safety feature.

Toyota avalon trunk release

I suggest getting a helper. While you sit in the vehicle and press the button inside the passenger glove box, ask your friend to lift the trunk. If your friend can open the trunk easily, your torsion bar needs to be replaced. This acts a bit like a spring to push the trunk open when the lock releases it. Another issue could be the lock release has gummed up with dust in the lock grease. You vehicle is 21 years old and grease thickens up with dust and such over the years.

My husband and I have a 1994 Cadillac Seville STS with a trunk release malfunction. We have tried to open the trunk by inserting the key in the lock, but the key will not turn. Until today, we were...

Does the key you have open the driver door? Do you have a keyless entry key fob, does it work? you also might try removing the glove box and disconnecting the wires from the trunk button and touching them together with a paper clip or other small wire but before you do that look in your owners manual a determine which fuse is for the trunk release and check the fuse then the last would be to have GM dealer check to see if the key you have is the proper key fror your car and if it may be worn out
