Any help will be greatly appreciated

You were right! it was a broken wire at flexing point. I guess Honda didn't put a long enough wire and the wires got seperated at the connector. I'm surprised HOnda only put an electrical tape at the connection. ANyways, I've placed a long enough wire so it wouldn't get stressed when opening/closing the trunk. Thanks for your help!
