When you pop your trunk, look at the trunk lid and you'll see two black bolts with a black piece sticking out of both of them. You can push the black pieces back inside the bolts (this is all plastic by the way). Now sometimes those will loosen up and may be what's happening. if that pin doesn't push in far enough when the trunk is closed to make contact with the sensor, the DIC will say trunk open. That may be what's happening. I haven't had the problem you have had, but I did find them loose before. If you can't finger tighten them then one of them may have backed all the way out.

Oh, the pieces I'm talking about are left and right of the latch assembly on the trunk lid.
