If it's anything like the lower ones mate try stripping it and giving a good clean and a lube!

Edit - bit late for us old timers now, so didn't read the original post properly, and posted fix for lower tailgate......

Agree with above, look at lubricating the latch mechanism to make sure it's free.

You'll have to strip the inner plastic trim off the interior of the tailgate to check the wiring.

Excellent news.

It's usually the bottom tailgate that has the issues from what I can see.

At least you know how it works now.
