I have a 2012 Yukon Denali, the lift gate latch won't release. When I push any of the 3 buttons to open it tries to open but is stuck closed. I've tried replacing the latch assembly and it didn't help. In testing I have no power going to fuse 44 when I try to open the gate.

Welcome to the forum from Virginia. Mine does this occasionally. Can you lift it by hand? My problem was with the lifting strut not pushing enough to open it. There’s also a fairly common problem of corrosion on the wires between the gate and body at the top.
