Tailgate wont open, micro switch sounds like its working, emergency open deosnt work either

we had the same problem with our NIssan Note- - some times its the mircoswitch that unlocks the boot, - sometimes its a break in the wiring- for us, it was the wiring- Where the loom leaves the car body to go into the tailgate, the wires get bent to and fro alot, and fatigue -> break. SO:
Climb inside the car, remove the plastic panel from the inside of the boot , then reach inside the boot for the tailgate latch. Ours had a plastic cover over which took some wriggling to get off, then we released the lock manually.one the boot was open 1 we checked for power supply to the switch and motor: there was none.
2 we looked at the wiring supply to the boot (top right hand side). We snipped the rubber boot,opened it up, we found three wires broken, supplying the micro switch for the lock, and the number plate lights...
3 we soldered them and hey presto, it worked fine again- we had to work out which supplied which , which was fun!

Hi

Cant open the tailgate to my Discovery 3. Can here a noise but wont release. Any Ideas please

I have a similar problem, my tailgate stopped working with the outside handle and the remote but can be opened manually from the inside. I don't have an alarm so there is no problem with that but did you get a solution for the tailgate problem that I could try?

Emergency operation of rear lid
If the rear lid cannot be opened with the radio
remote control (e.g., if the battery of the remote
control is dead), the emergency operation must
be performed:
1. Unlock and open the driver's door with the
vehicle key.
2. Switch on the ignition so that the alarm system
will not be triggered.
3. Check if the TAILGATE function is activated in
the multi-purpose display of the instrument
panel.
Please observe the chapter “TAILGATE” on
Page 119.
4. Press the central locking button in the armrest.
The rear lid is now unlocked and can be opened
with the unlocking handle
