Whenever I hit the lock/unlock button the back trunk/hatch latch makes a "tired motor noise". It doesn't unlock the trunk. When I use the key it unlocks it and it will open. What is this part called? The trunk locking mechanism...motor...?

Try Spraying the actuator with some spray lubricant, sometimes the mechanism is just dry and needs some lube.
I have a BMW latch that gets cranky now and then and I have to put a small dab of white grease on it. it's then OK for a year or two.

It's called the trunk latch solenoid.

It's called the "dang people are getting so lazy
they gotta have a motor open their trunk" mechanism.

it extremely is tense to declare - i might in all likelihood ask acquaintances or relatives in the event that they advise somebody who does good paintings and can no longer tear you off. If no longer something, basically take around to three shops and get costs.
