1999 Mercury Cougar trunk release/noise problem

When I push the trunk release button or use the remote, the trunk latch makes a fairly loud noise. It's a difficult noise to discribe but it buzzes and something mechanical quickly cycles 3-4 times. It then will then open but on several occasions the hatch would not latch when closing unless the release was cycled again. When opening using the key it functions normally. Thanks.
