Water gets in there, corrodes the connections and tada... exactly what you have. Once you get it open, take the cover off from the inside and inspect. You'll see what I am talking about. Clean, lubricate, replace, drive.

That indeed is a problem. I suggest that it is a 2 man effort.

Power liftgate should have a button on the key fob to open and close it. Press unlock and this should unlock the doors and the lift gate (it works on mine),

its not a power lift gate. just powerlocks... but the lock actuator is dead and it is stuck in the lock position. I cant figure out how to unlock it. if i can get it unlocked it would just open normally.
Hum...there is no key hole like in the older models. I would ask the dealer if they have a solution. otherwise you may have to take the rear panel off if that is a possobility wiith the gate shut,

so for those interested, i have fixed the problem. I went to the dealer and they said that there is no manual way to open the liftgate. so i went home and removed all the trim panels from the door. which i had to break one because the bottom goes around the lock mechanism. once i got those off i had access to the assembly. on the right side you have to bend the metal part back to reveal a plastic casing. break the casing and it will reveal all the machanical parts of the lock. after that just push it forward and it releases. kind of a pain in the ass.
