Trunk won't open. Trunk lock actuator??

My trunk won't open today with my key fob or the button inside the car. I checked the fuses and it seems to be okay. I also checked the valet switch and it was not the cause. I am able to manual open the trunk with my key. I am suspecting it might be the trunk lock actuator. Could it be the trunk lock actuator? If so, is there a DIY on how to replace this?

I'd check the wiring near the trunk hinge for broken wires. It's pretty common for some of them to break where the harness flexes.
