I am going to answer my own question......As I have had this problem before, my first
thought was the pull down motor had gone out again. I replaced it aprox 12 years ago and thought the motor had died again as I use the trunk all the time. Easy fix
this time.....what could it hurt (?)......changed the fuse......it worked!

The trunk lock on a 1965 Buick Riviera operates using a simple mechanical system. When the key is inserted and turned, it engages a latch mechanism that releases the trunk lid. This system typically includes a rod that connects the lock cylinder to the latch, allowing for smooth operation. Additionally, some models may feature a release button inside the vehicle for added convenience.
You get to it from the trunk. Lift up the carpet, and locate access panel in front pass side of trunk.

cHECK THE FUSE IN THE FUSE PANEL.
The fuel pump on a 1985 Buick Riviera is typically located inside the fuel tank. This design is common in many modern vehicles as it helps to keep the fuel pump cool and prevent it from overheating. Accessing and replacing the fuel pump in a 1985 Buick Riviera may require lowering the fuel tank or accessing it through an access panel in the trunk or under the rear seat.
From the inside of the trunk..... You have to remove the inside to get to the bolts.... The there you go......
It is located in the trunk on the underside of the package shelf next to the passenger side 6x9 speaker.
To fix a trunk on a 1993 Buick Riviera that is stuck open, first, check the trunk release mechanism and the latch for any visible obstructions or damage. If the latch is stuck, try using a lubricant like WD-40 to loosen it. Additionally, inspect the trunk release switch and wiring for any faults. If these steps don't work, you may need to manually disengage the latch or consult a professional for further assistance.
