Hi all,
Got an issue with the missus FL1 rear door, all was well until yesterday, I was driving it and lowered the tailgate window all the way to get a clear view behind me when the window got all the way down there was a very loud bang/clunking noise. The window went up with the electric window switch absolutely fine but since then it's not budging. The heated rear window worked prior to this but now both the heated window switch and the electric window switch both do nothing.
I've prised the door open (coming very close to breaking the glass so wouldn't advise doing this again) to take the trim off and look for anything obvious - as the pictures show there's a cable that's clearly snapped and not in place any longer, I expect this might have been the bang I heard but looking at the cable it's very rusty and looks like it could have been like that years....
Looking at the wiring inside the tailgate nothing looks out of place and I've checked the fuses in the front which both seem fine too.
Any thoughts on what's happened and best next steps would be greatly appreciated...
TIA
