Another member had the same problem recently.
He lives somewhere around Seattle. It seems rainwater had built up in the rain trough of the Convertible Storage Compartment Lid from the drain holes being plugged up. The water was completing the Lid Release circuit.
Disconnect battery. Unplug wiring to the solenoid and to let dry (re-connect battery). Check drain holes in the corners of trough. Clean thoroughly. Make sure water drains out quickly. Reconnect plug to check operation.
The circuit can be completed if water has gotten inside any of the Release buttons, also.
Hope this works.

Yep, all wet. about 1 cup of water in the depression and the wire conectors all wet. drain holes looked ok though. I'll double check them before putting the carpet back.
