Good point. Let's not forget to check that. The non-closing trunk may have nothing to do with either pump.

Bostonbenz, do as Peter mentions. With the trunk open, operate the catch mechanism in the lower latch with your thumb, and observe what happens. Does the striker eye retract into the trunk lid and latch properly? If so, the closing assist pump is doing its thing just fine. The problem is elsewhere.
