"Ok and what are you going to do with that" quoteth the wife

Just bought my first Land Rover Freelander1 1.8 2001 nice little runner with a few minor! issues

so first off buy a kit to fix tailgate window - remove locking wheel nuts and get replacements

order kit from fleabay 12 quid, and visit local scrappy and get replacement locking nuts, full jack kit and both rear upper indicators 35 quid all in

replaced the tailgate regulator wires and now the problem starts, from the switch it goes down instead of up and vica - versa so did the undo battery negative and leave for 5 mins reconnect and it still the same

so here i am lost in where to look next checking the interweb it seems i have cabled it up correcrtly, top cable to right hand top pulley, bottom cable to left lower pulley (cable with the white tensioner arrangement) as viewed from outside the vehicle

Swap the wires over

Thanks for the reply but swap the wires as in the cable wires or the motor/switch wires?
