You have to take off the plastic surround around the handle for the tail gate then pull the two silver rods toward each other or toward the handle and the gate will come down. Most likely the spring has broken or the lock stop and the kit to replace the whole latch assembly is about $35.00.

There's a lever under the housing for the licence plate which pulls forward.
Open the tailgate and look at the sides. You should see some screws in there. Unscrew those, and the tail light lens should pull right out.
If you open the tailgate there should be two screws that you need to take out. I don't know if you can just replace the lens, I think it is one unit.

These models came stock with a release button below the cigarette lighter. If you look directly to the right of the radio there should be a button to push that will release the glass and then once its open, your tailgate should open once you do it manually. Hope this helps you
On the inside of the tailgate are two bolts. remove them and the taillight will fall out. If you have a bed liner you might have to take it out. On the inside of the tailgate are two bolts. remove them and the taillight will fall out. If you have a bed liner you might have to take it out.
On my 2002 avalanche, I was told to take the handle off and inside there are to blue or green clips with threaded rods in them. I just popped open the clips with a small screwdriver, then moved the rods out a few threads and reclip. IT WORKED GREAT MY TAILGATE WOULD POP OPEN WHEN I HIT A BUMP BUT NO MORE!!
