Tailgate lock actuator stuck in locked position.
The tailgate lock actuator is dead and stuck in the lock position. This model year does not have the cable inside to manually unlock and open the tailgate. I have exposed the actuator but cannot figure out how to open it. I called the dealership and they said that in these models you have break open a plastic panel (the whole thing plastic) to expose the cable to open it. Does anyone know where this panel is as there is not an apparent panel that I can see. I don't mind breaking something off since the part is dead and needs replaced anyway. I just can't figure out how to unlock/open the tailgate. Any help is appreciated.
