Malfunction at the TRUNK LID GRIP ,corrosion of the wiring harness will cost that problem,due to a bad trunk lid grip gasket.

Took a look at the wiring connector, there was alittle rusty spot but i cleaned it and still the same.
And learned that when the lights are on, and i go outside and press it, it works and turn lights of, works normal then about 15 minutes later it opens by itself and starts doing the same...

Whats a possible fix? ive already ordered new led bulbs from ddm tuning, just gotta wait for them

Pry the license plate lights out and give it a good blast of warm air with either hair dryer or heat gun(lower setting) so it removes the moisture.
It's better not to leave the trunk hatch in open position pointing upward while it's raining.I learned my lesson(twice) and taking that precaution step I never get into the same problem again.

Lol we Russians are all over the place.

Yea after you try let us know. I still think it's your switch. Like mrbmwx5 suggested. Not the connection, but the circuit inside the trunk bar.
