I have a 98 convetible and had the same problem with the cover not opening. Made a clinking sounds for a while as it was opening, then failed completely. Took the motor apart and found that the gears between the motor and the lifting arm don't mesh very well so they were slipping on one another. Simple to fix. I put a 3" hose clamp around the motor drive gear and the lifting arm gear and tighened. Motor gear was forced against the lifting gear and the two mate great. No problems ever since. Motor can be found behind the panel in the trunk on the right hand side. It is a little tough getting the clamp around the setup but can be done.
I have the same problem with the CE light, but think it is an ignition problem, haven't sorted that one out yet.
