Re: TAAILGATE LOCKING 'JAW' NOT RELEASING
Does the tailgate feel free to move the short distance or does it rub on something ?
First thoughts is that the bottom of the tailgate could be rubbing on the catch bolts or floor of the rear compartment. It could be possible that the catch is loose and is hitting the lock cutout in the tailgate.
Is there enough movement to let you give it a sharp tug to open ?

Re: TAAILGATE LOCKING 'JAW' NOT RELEASING
Have you tried locking and unlocking the tailgate while you have it open and pulling it open ?
Maybe that might free the catch ?
You could also try flexing the rear a little by running the left rear tire up onto a brick or ramp and see if that frees the tailgate and then doing the same with the right rear tire.
