It will not open with the remote or without unless you open it from the inside what do I need to do?

So when to open it from the inside can you hear the relay working or is it purely mechanical latch? The BCM handles the request for the remote to open the latch. Also does he remote work on everything else? It sounds like the latch might be bad or the BCM. I would run a CAN scan to see if any codes come up for it.

If you get a code for it here is the location of the latch and how to change it out. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response.
