If the problem is that the gate won't unlock w/ the key remote or switch, the lock may be broken. I've got an '01 Frontier and the lock on the tailgate broke. I had to unlock the thing (and hold the key in unlock) to drop the tailgate. Got it replaced, mechanic said he'd seen a few trucks have this problem. If the key remote/switch is actually supposed to open the back gate, I'm at a loss. Good luck.
I'm having the same problem with my Armada. The back door will not open with the keyless button. I am able to open manually outstide and the button in the door will close it, but then I get warning that the back liftgate is open. It seems like it's closed all the way. help !
our 2010 armada we use too have. had a recall on the gate latch. it was fixed before we had any issues.
I have a 2014 Nissan Armada and I have the same problem. I took off the side cover over the push rod on the left side and found that the small screw that holds the rod in place had came out. I used a magnetic retriever tool to get the screw out of the bottom of the jack holder spot, put the screw back in and it worked great. hope this helps you.

Nissan Armada won’t start & power inside of the truck does not work like for example I can’t roll my windows up & cant lock or unlock my truck
We replace lift gate 2017 Nissan Armada and don’t open
I have a 2006 Armada LE. Liftgate would close but not open. I tried and tried to figure it. Finally, it won't open because the the rear glass is open. Close rear glass(yes the one I didn't even know opened). All should be well. It's the simple things.

I have the same problem, Using the fob to unlock, it only partially moves the safety latch, I have to manually push the latch down further. I replaced the locking mechanism with the plastic actuator and cable attached. Problem still there. I wonder if it could be the other cable?

There's a little green plastic piece that connects to the lock actuator mines popped out on the tail gate remove plastic interior get a flash light follow the two black cords one will have the green plastic piece the other wont just needs the be popped in and then turn the plastic piece on to the rod the lock in place I also put a zip tie on it so it won't pop off again
