Is it coincidence that since getting back from the test I can't get the tailgate to open, although the light on the panel shows there is a door open. Have tried the release catch in the car and locking and unlocking, but other that using the emergency release pull I can't get it to open.
Could the tester have dislodged/broken something. Any thoughts about what I need to do to get the tailgate working properly again?

Don't believe in coincidences he probably disturbed the rubber seal which weather proofs the opening mechanism, pull it off and re-position it so it fits correctly without fouling the switch mechanism, you will be fine then.
The number plate bulb holder is delicate and requires the delicate fingers of a Geisha girl, not the sausage-shaped fingers of a baboon.
