The module is contained within the lift gate....behind the inside plastic cover. You can manually open the lift gate from the back side of the lift gate. There is an access plug ( 1" diameter) that pops out. Put your finger in and pull black plastic lever towards you....very easy. Caution...a dealership has to flash/program a replaced lift gate module. If you replace it, it will continually search for the key fobs and drain your car battery overnight. I'm going to check for wiring problems first, b4 I send it to a dealership.
