Welcome to the forum mate.
Sounds like you have a short in the wiring somewhere.
Have you done any tests to see when your trunk latch gets a signal?

Sounds like damp getting into one of the wiring harness connectors to me.

X type Jag estate tailgates used to have a similar problem with the opening glass section.

Thank you all for your answers. Finally problem solved, there was a short circuit in a wire from the left front door that caused the problem.
