Hi , Freelander 1.8 . after a month or two with battery disconnected for maintenance and interior stripping And cleaning. Reconnected battery and didn’t get the tailgate window going down . Also no start. Engine turns over strongly but no start. Tried five clicks on the remote buttons , locks went crazy but no window down and no start. When using window switch ,there is an audible beep when trying to go down. When going up there is slight up down movement. Tailgate unlocks but window does not drop.
Car started and window was operating before disconnection of battery.

Is there a sequence to follow with the re syncing.

Regards Jim
 
Had the seats and carpets out , with all the trim panels.
Did notice that the HDC switch wiring on the gear stick has broken. This wouldn't stop it syncing and starting would it?

Does the 1.8 have a priming button ?
Will find out Monday.

No. The fuel pump is supposed to run for a few seconds after switching on the ignition, which is the priming cycle.
Out of interest, have to tried pressing the fuel cutoff button, to make sure it's not popped up due to impacts or work nearby?
 
Update. Fuel pump removed and found seized. Managed to turn the impeller to free off with wd40 . Put wires straight to battery and whizzed round nicely.
Refitted , still no joy.
Che cked engine bay fuse for pump. All good.
😊 Then found 2nd fuse under steering wheel blown. New fuse and away snhe went .
Thanks all.
