My tail gate rear door won't open is there a fuse for this

It sounds like the actuator has gone out in the door. If you remove the card in the door, you can get access to the item.

For my '06 the momentary switch went bad and I had to replace it a few years back.

I had to hit a junkyard and pull a used part to fix my ride before I took possession of it. While I was there, I also grabbed a new plastic cover that bolts through the tailgate, those plastic pieces are flimsy and break so easily.

Just thought I'd share my experience with the rear hatch on my '06. It just won't open when it's cold. If I drive for ~20 minutes with the heat blasting and cycle the lock a couple of times it opens! When the temp is above maybe 45 F, no problem.

there are $37 steel reinforced color matched ones on ebay. I bought one just in case mine decides to break. Since spare on hand oem will probably last forever, lol

You are a bad influence Toaster bud, you just added another ebay listing on my car wishlist that's hanging around in my mind, and I thank you. Next mad money moment I have, I'll try to remember this.

I had this issue and it turns out the rubber gasket around the hatch release button had melted/degraded and it was jamming the button in cold weather. I took the handle apart and cleaned all the rubber off using Goo Gone or maybe Greased Lightning, I can't remember. If you do this make sure to wear gloves because the old gooey rubber will get all over your hands and make a mess. After I cleaned off all the remains of the old gasket I wrapped the button in a latex glove so water wouldn't splash in it then reinstalled. That was a year or two ago and so far so good! You can also buy replacement buttons but I didn't think it was worth the cost when I could just repair mine.

I scored a chrome out of a junkyard ages ago, and really want the body match this go around. Or I could core the metal reinforcement and put it on the chrome handle I already have maybe. It's gonna be a wait and see.
