Had same issue with mine.
One day it worked and the next it didnt.
I unplugged the connector and gave everything a regular coating of wd40 for a week this sorted the problem.

Check the two wires on the plug that goes into the mechanism. They come through the tailgate bodywork at a very tight angle and may have been pinched or snapped.

when you say the mechanism, do you mean the catch mechanism or the actual lock mechanism mounted behind the number plate. ive chased the wires from the light and as far as i can see they run up the door and out at the top o/s corner.I musr have missed a spur somewhere, as the light was fading.
cheers
