well no one responded to my question so I cowboyed up 
ROFSheriffHL: and pulled the rear panel off and started testing things. First off holy crap, is there nothing that isn't electrical? I can't believe that the rear glass release button is just a switch. I figured I was mechanical. I diagnosed that I wasn't getting any power to the switch. Still haven't figured out why. No blown fuses and everything else works thats on that same circuit. There was a unused plug mounted down low next to the tailgate latch. I ran my volt meter across it and it was hot. So I just stole power from that and everything works like it should. However I can't lock the glass now. But i'm not to worried about that.:ar15:

But i'm not to worried about that.:ar15:There is probably an interrupt switch somewhere in the original hot circuit, that keeps the glass from working under certain circumstances, like door-ajar or whatever. Since you have verified that the lift motor works, work the original hot circuit backwards toward the fuse panel.
