Does the upper tailgate open using the emergency release ?

The push button unit can fill with water and the metal plate that operates the microswitch will corrode.
I don't think they are available as individual parts, you'll probably need to get a second hand tailgate handle assembly.

U had a issue with the wife's. Took me to push both parts shut really firm and then it worked. It looked shut but wasn't quite and got jammed.
As soon as I got it shut properly it worked fine.
