Rear door not opening?

JumboPeanuts · Mar 23, 2011

With the car fully unlocked when I try to open the rear door the window moves down partially as it should then the door doesn't open as it should.

It's a 5 door XEDI. W reg

Any advice? Cheers

could be a few things: relay, door catch, actuator or wiring. If you can get it on to a computer see if it can be forced open. does door handle feel ok?

Hi Fyne

The door handle is solid.

Where would I find the relay?

I'll look into the actuator and wiring when it's lighter

Cheers

relay is behind o/s boot trim, trim removed by turning clips 90 deg and fold rear seat forward. There are two relays together you can swap them to see if there is a change. actuator ect behind rear door trim not easy to get into with door closed but can be done.

Flaming over complicated doors! Why couldn't they have just left it like a Discovery back door? Or if they had to mess around, a mini Range Rover door?

Thanks Fyne! I'll check it over the weekend as I'll have to take a speaker shelf and subwoofer out to make it easier.

Exactly 5ive! Weird design or what :s
