If the tailgate of your Ford Escape is stuck, try using the key fob to unlock it or pressing the release button on the inside of the vehicle. If that doesn’t work, check for any obstructions or ice around the latch. You can also try gently tapping near the latch area while attempting to open it, or using a slim tool to manually release the latch. If these methods fail, consider consulting a professional for assistance.

A door that doesn't open can be many things on a Ford Escape. The latch can be broken, something can be stuck in it, or the handle can be damaged. You will need to take your Escape to a local professional so that they can look at the door.
To open a broken Ford tailgate, first, check if there’s any visible damage or obstruction to the latch mechanism. If the latch is stuck, try using a flathead screwdriver to pry it open gently. If the tailgate is locked and the key or remote isn't working, you may need to access the lock mechanism directly from inside the tailgate panel by removing screws and lifting the panel off. If these methods fail, consider consulting a professional for repairs.

I once had a 1987 that had the same problem! On the inside of the tailgate, at the top ends, there should be a small lever. You can flip them one at a time and it will un latch the tailgate!
Spray lots of wd-40 in the driver side latch, there is a mechanism in there that allows power to flow to the motor when the tailgate is closed. more than likely it is just dirty and stuck. Thing is you have to get the tailgate open.
