Help!!!! I've got a couple of annoying problems on my 2.0Dl 99 Freelander and I'm running out of ideas. Firstly, I have a permanent door not shut light accompanied by a mislock (horn sounding) when I lock it (all doors and locks appear to lock ok). Secondly, when I open the tailgate the glass does not drop before opening, could these two possibly be connected?

Otherwise its a good workhorse

Cheers

yes the too are linked
i know this because a month ago my freelander was iced over and when i tryed to open tailgate it was stuck and horn sounded when i tryed to lock it
but ok when defrosted and window worked
hope this helps
 
Have still got a misslock tone from horn when locking accompanied by a permanent door open light. I've noticed though that when I open the tailgate the glass doesn't lower properly prior to opening............any ideas anyone?
 
hi if you squeese the handle put your head near the badge you should hear 1 micro switch operating the window and a noise like well hard to explain but its a solenoid operating the rear latch after the window drops,you can get the inside panel off bit hard with door locked,at bottom of door panel is 4 philips screws take them out and then the panel pulls from the bottom up,cut round water shredder and you can operate latch manually to get it open then check to see if micro switch in handle is working its not a rear wiper fault or window fault as they work,the relay for the rear door latch and the rear window are behind the offside rear quarter panel 3 connectors for rear door electrics,the relays are up by the seat at top,its not normally a relay issue either rear door latch solenoid,or micro switch in back handle but rule out the handle as window works hope this helps

This is a previous post from Tigapiglet with regard a rear tailgate not working, give his ideas a try.

Zippy
