Do you live in a cold climate? maybe the button is stuck or maybe the button is bad, also check the wiring where it goes from the vehicle to the trunk lid should be a rubber tube with wires in it. My turn signal does not work when it's very cold works fine when the temperature is above 20 Fahrenheit.

SOURCE: Outside talgate handle broken, how do I open it?

You have to open it from the inside and take off the entire back panel on door from there you will find your way if not write back.

SOURCE: 1996 Isuzu Rodeo stuck tail gate

Remove the interior trim panel which will not be easy since the gate is up ---- you can then access the lock mechanism and will probably find a bent linkage rod or a broken plastic retainer clip.

SOURCE: broken tailgate latch

Remove the paneling from inside. Than you can use a flathead screwdriver to pry the latch rod and latch enough to pop open the door.

SOURCE: Auto tailgate warning light is on dash board but tailgate closed.

I have a similar problem, my tailgate stopped working with the outside handle and the remote but can be opened manually from the inside. I don't have an alarm so there is no problem with that but did you get a solution for the tailgate problem that I could try?

How does the 1999 Tahoe tailgate open?

The right side can be unlocked with the key, once opened, the left side can be opened. Mine, the left side requires me to push in slightly while ensuring the release handle is pulled to it's furthest point before it will unlatch. If the electrical contacts at the door frame are dirty, the door may not unlock when pushing the button up front thus requiring the key to be used in the rear door. If this is not the solution, the latch rods inside the door need adjusted which requires some mechanical expertise.

07 Tahoe - L/S Parking light fuse keeps blowing when tailgate is opened

HI,
You have a 'short to ground' wiring issue. Either the switch that is activated by opening the gate or the wiring in the gate itself is damaged/broken.
I'd remove the switch 1st and see if the fuse doesn't blow. IF it does by a new one on Ebay or @ the dealer.

otherwise, get a multi-meter and a wiring diagram for your Tahoe and trace the wiring from the switch.

GL,
Td

Rear hatch on my 2001 explorer will not open, rear window will but tailgate hatch will not. how do i open it with out the unlock button, no manual release that i can see...

I had a clip break when I tried to open my tailgate. I had to remove my inside hatch panel and find my way to the handle assembly. A little plastic clip (shaped like a T) had finally worn out, which wouldn't hold the locking arms, and I had to go to a Ford dealership for a $3 part; tailgate has worked fine since then!
