Very likely to be a broken wire in the hinged part of the tail gate...

It will do.. Just a pipe to the top of the tailgate behind the guttering, down the passenger side A pillar, through the fire wall from a pump in the front screenwash bottle.

Yep, worth a look see on the loom twix the rear tailgate door & the main body...?!
Cheaper by comparison to a race horse...
