My wife's 2001 325 wagon has some issue w/ the tailgate. It won't open. Until recently it worked normally. The glass hatch works fine. I've tried jiggling/pushing/pulling on the tailgate while operating the release button and looked at the fuses marked "Touring Only" in the glove compartment mounted fuse box (they were all fine). Operating the release button (above the license plate) makes no sound - I think it did when it was working. Any ideas on what's wrong here or what else to do or check? Thanks.
