E46 Touring tailgate won't open

[Gad-Westy]

Hi all. The tailgate on my E46 330 Touring has stopped opening. Been a bit intermittent for the last couple of days but now it won't open at all. Have tried fiddling with it for an hour or so but getting nowhere.

Any ideas for how I can fix this?

Cheers. It's the tailgate itself. Glass part is opening fine. All lights and wiper are working.

The remote release just operates the glass.

No noise at all. Seems like the solenoid isn't even trying.

No switch on mine unfortunately.
