More info, please.

Which rear door, one of the side doors or the hatch?

If one of the side doors, won't open from inside or outside?

Welcome to the site.

As donbrew stated, need more info.

As a guess(if it's a rear passenger door) I'll put up this partial from the owners manual.
Rear Door Security Locks
Vehicles with rear door security locks prevent
passengers from opening the rear doors from the inside.
On vehicles with this
feature, the rear door
security locks are located
on the inside edge of
each rear door. You must
open the rear doors to
access them.

Yeah, I figured that was why you asked "inside or outside".

Based on the OP saying "No give to handle", I figure it's a passenger door.

It is the hatch. Just quit opening . Can't figured out how to get in to a release handle or what to do.

The hatch huh ...
Read your owners manual for info and pictures on how to manually release it.

1. Remove the trim plug, located on the inside of the
liftgate near the center.
2. Locate the release
lever on the latch.
The lever is located about three inches (7.62 cm)
behind the trim in the access hole.
3. Insert a tool into the access hole.
Push the release lever
rearward.
4. The liftgate will unlatch when the lever is pushed
rearward. Push the liftgate to open.
5. Reinstall the trim plug.

The button is replaceable. You have to remove the interior panel to get to it. I seem to remember you need to buy the assembly.

There is a fuse for it. And a fuse position that is supposed to be empty or it won't work. Has anybody been filling vacant fuse slots lately?
