So the pull down is working correctly but the latch wont grab onto the striker?

Can you work the latch mechanism with a screw driver? If you can make the latch engage on a screw driver I would guess that there is an alignment issue with the striker and the latch.

A worn latch, striker or poor adjustment of the pull down assembly would cause it not to hold. A lot of the issues with the pull downs that i see (besides the switch) is from people slamming their trunk lid causing damage to the parts mentioned above.

edit: I may have misunderstood your previous post, please ignore my post if it doesn't help.
