The driver door module (DDM) is connected on the standard corporate protocol (SCP) communication network. The DDM controls many functions including power windows, power door locks and remote keyless entry. The DDM also communicates with the driver seat module (DSM) to control the power mirror and seat memory functions.
Do you know anything about automotive electronic control modules ?
The driver door module (DDM) receives inputs from the digital transmission range (DTR) sensor, ignition switch, seat switch, window/door lock switches, lighting control module (LCM), keyless entry keypad switch and remote transmitter. The DDM outputs consists of keyless entry keypad switch illumination, power door lock actuators, luggage compartment release solenoid, horn relay, and lighting control module (LCM).
Best thing to do would be to have a factory scan tool hooked up to check for DTC'S diagnostic trouble codes . That should be the first step if it's not programming the code.

You can get a good locksmith to make a key...last time I check it ran about 30-$50.
SOURCE: Lincoln trunk motor/latch
check the bolts that hold the motor assembly on. they may of came loose or are broken.
SOURCE: i have a 1993 lincoln
Check little finger like/half moon part of latch on lid & see if it comes across, and locks in. Use a screwdriver or something. Then turn key & see if it snaps back. See what you find & get back to us. Don't be afraid to lubricate all that in there while your at it.
SOURCE: 03 Lincoln Towncar trunk malfunction
Sounds like the lift drive assembly is screwed up if it falls shut when trying to open it. Haven't worked on these so they may have a safety feature that drops the trunk if it hits something. Is some blocking the hinges travel as it opens?
