Default trunk motor stopped working

hey all, just a quick question about the trunk on my 79 eldorado.

The trunk motor stopped working all of the sudden, just wondering if there is a fuse in the trunk, I didn't notice any in the manual under the dash for the trunk motor. Thanks

also it is up, if there is someway I can just release the latch to be all the way down then I could just use it as a regular trunk.

checked, and fuse in trunk still good. It looks like a vacuum line from a pump going from the back right trunk corner to the motorized latch. I was getting a "stuck roomba" kinda sound out of the right corner of the trunk, by the tail lights, before it went bad. Maybe the vacuum pump went out idk
