Can you hear the actuator in the hatch making any noise? i would first pull the trim and check for power at the actuator when the remote is pressed to open the hatch, do this first.

I just went and checked it. I heard a buzz or a ehhhhh coming from the hatch, when I unlocked and locked the other doors.

Pull the trim and check that the actuator is working, unhook it from the lock and see if it is moving, i feel it may be faulty.
