Use pliers, grab the cable that is left. Otherwise the seat should drop down and you can go from there. If you are in a sedan you are gonna have a tough day.
After a lot of use of the trunk, I noticed it was only working intermittently. Turns out crimps aren't worth it, and now I have a soldering gun, cut the crimps and soldered - the only way to do it right.

Some advice for people with cut wires on trunk lid. If your trunk will still not pop pull the kicker panel on the front driver side locate harness and green/white wire. There are 2 of them so make sure u get the right one. Nip the green/white wire and nip both wires on the trunk switch leave some tail and get 12v from the fuse box run it to the red wire on the switch run the black wire twards the green/white wire twards the trunk. Will work like a charm. Don't own one just fixed one. You will loose the fob option but will have reliable way to open trunk

Same problem
I just had the same problem that and a dumb cam shaft sensor open your trunk by dropping the back seats and pull the cord it will open then splice in to the wiring that goses to the trunk from it opening and closing wires break when I did this I found that 2 of my wires where not even connected so I connected them and that was all that had to be done both the trunk release on my fob and on the car work some times it’s just the little things.

I fixed mine close to 3 years ago and just had to fix it again last week. First time it was one of the black wires, this time it was the other black wire that came out of its connector. I decided to cut all of the connectors out and just used 18 guage stranded copper wire to reconnect each one. I soldered all the connections, shrink wrapped and covered each connection with liquid electrical tape, and then wrapped the all 4 wires together with regular electric before I put them back inside the rubber flex hose so Im hoping this wont be an issue again

Just chiming in, I just had this problem occur too...starting the engine made it work again, strangely enough.

Front and rear cameras, tire pressure for all four tires can display on screen,folding side view mir
Always a good idea to check individual battery cells with a battery hydrometer to be sure they are all accepting a full charge?
One or more weak cells, replace the battery.
