You have to spray a lot of WD40 thru "children lock" lever hole. This hole is not visible with closed taligate but you can find the way to reach this hole with a cannula spray. When children lock lever is released, you will be able to operate lock with high probability. After this, you shouldn't close tailgate again: You should at least clean and relubricate lock mechanism.

You can see there in body frame a rubber block. This intends to close dust ingress to this extern-to-lock box- lever . You must force this rubber to reach this tailgate hole. Hole is near this yellow label.
Installed a working driver's door actuator. It now works, but only that door. Could all of them have failed? Still can't open the rear door. Dang it.
