Tailgate Latch Not Working 850

You could try opening from the inside in case the external
mechanisim is broke. Note that the switch has one of those
child-lock options to disable the interior switch from
working. That switch might also be something to check in
case it is stuck in some wierd position causing the problem
(although I have never heard of that causing a problem, but
you never know).

You could also try pushing in on the door while opening it
in case the striker plate on the floor is misadjusted.
