1998 Chevy Cavalier keyless remote

Hi, I just started having a problem with the trunk not popping open when I use the keyless remote.
The doors open with no problem with remote.
I opened it with the key and when I closed it, It opened a couple times with the remote and stopped working again. I am not sure if its the actuator switch on the trunk latch or the computer module in the trunk.
I am leaning toward the module because I hear tick tick noise coming from the module when the the trunk does not open with the remote. I had this same problem 6 months ago but started working fine again until now.
On both times for some reason, it blew the fuse to the overhead light inside the car which prevented the door locks to work with the remote. Are these 2 problems related? Many thanks!
