Question Trunk power loss?

Hey all,

Haven't posted in a while as i've been busy with my M3 project. As I was leaving my parents I opened my trunk via remote, popped a few things in and set off. As I was driving I noticed three malfunctions:

1) 3rd brake light
2) Left license plate light
3) Right license plate light

At some point during my drive it occured to me that they all related to my trunk so thought it may not be closed properly. I pulled over and attempted to use my trunk release button in my door. No dice. Next i tried using my key and open it manually but again, wouldn't open. Wouldn't budge not even the slightest.

I did a quick search and couldn't find any related threads or recall/service bulletins.

Anyone?
