Default Trunk Release Solenoid Assembly

Does anyone know the part number of the black plastic solenoid assembly that releases the trunk lid on a 1998 (c5) convertible? Mine has been very noisy for a while. Now it won't release the trunk lid. It sounds like stripped gears. Even when holding it in my hand, it just barely moves the plunger. I am having a very hard time finding a picture with a part number to verify what I want to order. Any help will be much appreciated.
thanks,
