Default Tailgate not unlocking. The actuator clicks but no luck.

I have a 2018 and the tailgate locks whenever i
lock the truck. Except now it won’t unlock. Any idea why?

Mine stuck once because the tonneau cover was pushing it outward and causing too much resistance to allow the solenoid to actuate. Try push the tailgate closed as you push the unlock/open button.

Is that a museum? Because are they really using those old Gun Ships anymore? They only outfitted with the 105 and 30 now. Oh and the Griffin Missiles.
