Non operable power liftgate

Looking for some help on a power liftgate issue. Searched multiple forums and didn't come up with a solution or a good place to start.

My problem is that the liftgate will not operate. The latch releases but the liftgate must be opened and closed by hand. When closed by hand it does latch so the interior lights go off and I don't get the trunk open message in the dash which seems to be a common problem.

When the liftgate is raised and I push the close button on the gate I hear clicking sounds from the latch area but no downward movement of the gate.

When opening or closing by hand there does not seem to be any thing binding to suggest the motors are bad.

I have slammed the lower part of the trunk multiple times as suggested in other posts to no avail.

Any ideas as to where to start?

Thanks in advance.
