Here is how you bypass the sensor/switch, it matters not if it is the trunk divider switch or the top open switch.

1) Near the switch, find the two wires that connect to the switch.
2) Cut both wires.
3) Grab the wires coming from the harness and strip their two ends
4) Splice them together
5) Place a butt splice connector over them and crimp it to make the change permanent.

Now, test it. If it stilll acts up, the switch(s) are not the problem.
