Ok here are the steps followed to replace tailgate control module:

1) Remove the B18 fuse ( called backup) under hood
2) Remove the rear trim panel and driver rear side panel, some of those instructions are here, only steps 4 and 7 are needed:

4) Disconnect the three cables attached to control module
5) Use number 10 socket to remove control module mounted on top of rear fuse box
6) Install the new one and attach the three cables back
7) Install the removed trim panel back and side ones
8) Insert the B18 fuse
9) Press the tailgate button located under the rear camera


** B18 fuse will reset the control module, try this first before replacing the control module.
