trunk clicking noise
I closed my trunk and a dog leash got caught in between. I opened the trunk and removed the leash. Now when I close the trunk, once it shuts you hear the locking mechanism begin to tighten the door and lock. Now I hear a clicking noise that goes on for about 5 seconds. So the trunk closes fine, but the clicking noise isn't normal. I think the locking mechanics needs to be reset or recalibrate. Also my trunk sensor on my dashboard shows my trunk is open, but my trunk is closed and locked. Any ideas on what I should do to fix this?

When the door closes, is the door flush with the rest of the body? Are the shut lines equal on both sides?

Sounds like the sensor is misadjusted or broken. The clicking is likely the 'overtighten' prevention mechanism limiting how much pressure can be put on the latch.
