An electric lid closure generally comprises a lock unit mounted to a trunk lid and an electric closing unit mounted to a mouth portion of a trunk room. The lock unit includes a latch plate and a locking plate by which the latch plate is locked at its latch position. The electric closing unit includes a movable striker engageable with the latch plate, and an electric power mechanism for moving the movable striker between an uppermost position and a lowermost position with an electric power. A first position sensor senses whether the movable striker assumes the uppermost position or the lowermost position. A second position sensor senses whether the trunk lid passes by a critical position or not. The critical position corresponds to a position of the movable striker which is above the uppermost position. A third position sensor senses whether the locking plate locks the latch plate or not. A control unit energizes the electric closing unit to pull down the trunk lid to a full close position only when the first position sensor senses the movable striker assuming the uppermost position, the second position sensor senses the trunk lid passing by the critical position and the third position sensor senses the latch plate being locked by the locking plate.
