Possible GEM module problem

I am experiencing some wierd problems on my 98 Expedition. My tailgate will not open. But the window does. My drivers window does not work. But there is a click from the relay when the buttons are pushed. Also, some of the rear door locks keep going to the child lock mode automatically. Does anyone know if this is an indication that the GEM module is going bad? How much do they normally cost?

The tailgate and child lock problems are both mechanical, so definitely not GEM related. Search for the child lock - it's a very common problem.

I have only one question, how do I get access to the area where the lock is at? Can I get to it with the tail gate latched? Or can I somehow get it to open?
