Unhappy Power Lock FAIL rear gate

So, my rear gate decided it didn't want to unlock anymore with the keyfob... or the manual switch.
Any ideas to start troubleshooting for root cause?
All the other doors lock/unlock fine with the keyfob and manual switches.
There is no noise from the solenoid/actuator when the unlock button is depressed.
Fire away.

If you can get to the wires, get a $10 multimeter from Northern Tool or Harbor Freight and test for power. If the current is good, then you may need to replace whatever gadget wizardry is back there operating the locks.
