Hi,
This model actually had a recall on the lift gate actuators as they did give problems. The best why to see if it is the actuator or the wiring is to check for power to the lift gate actuator which is in the liftgate, and try to use the remote etc to see if there is power to it.
If there is power to the actuator then you will need to replace the actuator.
Thanks
Jason
Very similar test procedures though, you need to check that there is power getting to the actuator motor and if not check the switch and the control module.
There is no fuse for the switches as they just ground.
So check for main power supply to actuator on the tail gate lock assembly which is under the tailgate panel.
