Truck wee not open

Hello friends
2018 E400C Truck will not open. And the green button on the inside won’t work either. I checked the fuse box legend under the trunk mat but they both look good. 469 (40) and 435 Remote Trunk Lid Release. Tries the key fob, Mercedes emblem on trunk, and pull switch on the drivers door.
I really don’t want to take it in…
any insight

I saw that for the first time reading the manual. it was in the unlocked position, so i moved it back and forth and put it back into the lock position.

A broken wire costs 2k? Dealers don't repair, they only replace.

My service advisor said they are replacing the trunk motor and the wiring harness to the brake lights. Thank you for your input
