If the remote for your 1997 Chrysler LHS isn't working and the trunk won't close or latch, you can try manually opening the trunk and inspecting the latch mechanism for any obstructions or damage. Check the trunk release cable and ensure it's functioning properly. You can also use the key to manually unlock the trunk and see if that helps engage the latch. If the problem persists, consider consulting a mechanic for further assistance.
It is possible the trunk latch has been tripped with trunk up. Use your key fob/remote trunk release on inside and pop trunk. Now try and close. Please let me know if this helps.
