Help! Tailgate stuck closed.

My D3's tailgate is stuck shut. The solenoid (?) is clicking away if you press the release catch. What's the fix?

Liftgate Manual Release mod

The picture below and those in my gallery show how I installed a manual liftgate release. The idea is that pulling about 5 mm of wire that emerge from the carpeted part of the lower rear door half will release the latch holding the upper door closed.

I used 0.032" dia wire rope fishing leader and a lead fishing weight as a clamp to attach the fishing leader to the release cable.

More pictures of the install are in my gallery.
