Trunk Wont Stay Closed! What gives?!

Trunk Wont Stay Closed! What gives?!
I own an '03 MC and have had few problems until now. My trunk will not stay shut, even if the door is locked. I can lift the hatch open without pushing the button under the handle.
As you could imagine, this a bit of a problem since it opens a little while on the freeway as I found out the hard way.
When I push the latch button on the handle, I can hear a clicking near the latch. The locking mechanism seems isn't catching the hatch lid. Maybe its a broken spring, or maybe just a fuse or something.
Anyone have experience or suggestions?

Took it to Honolulu Mini... It was an emergency cable (which opens your trunk) in case of an emergency. It was broken, and stuck in the open position. I opted to leave it broken, and the analysis cost $148... At least I got a car wash and valuable time to check out the clubman.
The cable was to avoid "double locking" yourself in the car. I attempted to do so, and couldn't. Service staff said if your battery goes out, its your only way to get out of your mini. Isn't the inside door handle mechanical and not electrical? Works for me...

yeah... I keep testing the "double lock"... I cant see how the hell you can lock yourself in a mini in an emergency. I think the service woman didn;t know what she was talking about. I almost let them charge me 350 to fix it, rather than 148 to figure out the problem and move the "broken" safety wire".
