Rear tailgate wont open

I have a 1997 Chevy 1/2 ton 4x4 Suburban. The key lock on the outside of the rear door wont unlatch the window and the button on the dashboard wont open it either. Is there some way I can get it opened without destroying the inside tailgate panel to see what I need to replace ?

How does the 1999 Tahoe tailgate open?

The right side can be unlocked with the key, once opened, the left side can be opened. Mine, the left side requires me to push in slightly while ensuring the release handle is pulled to it's furthest point before it will unlatch. If the electrical contacts at the door frame are dirty, the door may not unlock when pushing the button up front thus requiring the key to be used in the rear door. If this is not the solution, the latch rods inside the door need adjusted which requires some mechanical expertise.
