Use the key (manual lock located by the license plate light) to pop the trunk and repair the wire. How did you locate the broken wire?

Whatever broke the errant wire/connection may have damaged some other connection or component(s). That's where I'd start, especially since these wires being out and loose is not typical, requiring unusual circumstances to make them so. All the best.
