I tried Andyfreelandy bridging plan, but the broken earth connection in my case defeated that solution. My earth checks were initally at the earth point in the offside rear quarter, but i had not reliased there were interconnectors along the route. In hind sight there is not much too the...

Problem solved!!!!! It turned out to be a small cluster of earth wires in the centre of the tailgate loom, where 5 become 2 heavier gauge. The earth from the microswitch into this connector, was loose. So simple in the end, made good the connector and eureka, all working normally again. I guess...

Back on the case again this weekend, update, I have run a diagnostic check with an obd2 reader, no codes reported, so I guess that’s good. Running some checks the voltages, the orange brown feed to the new tailgate handle microswitch is taking a constant 1.4v. Tried bridging the switch no...

Thanks again Nodge, I’ll try bridging the microswitch, but being as it’s brand new, i hope that it’s not the problem, their is going to be a simple answer to this, it will be solved, ...eventually.........I’m sure.

I’m going to have to leave the job now till next weekend, work is dragging me away, I keep thinking about the post that starts with eureka problem solved, I hope that’s not too far away

The wiring colour codes appear to be the same, the purple\black going to the lock actuator is giving a .25v blip as the CL is activated, the orange black going to the handle is giving a steady 1.25v with an brief increase to 1.55 when the CL is operated, earths clean and strong. So does this...

Andy, the microswitch is not activating, it’s brand new, so going to start with a thorough Earth check first, thanks for the tips, fingers crossed.

Andy thanks, it’s a new microswitch, so it must be the cabling, I’m no expert with the meter, but I will try and work through your guidance thanks. When I find a solution to this one, I’m going to make sure its shared for all, this is such a pain, I’ve been messing with it all day, not much...

I’ll give anything a go now, checked that, all the doors are closing correctly, no warning lights on, so no problem in that area, even hard the hardtop off to check the sensor there, that was Ok too. It’s odd as it happened all of a sudden the wife said she heard a strange noise in the back...

when I operate the tailgate handle There is nothing happening with the micro switch, no click and no movement of the window. But the window will work on the fob and cabin switch, so it’s lock related, I’m wondering if I need to do some sort of reset when I fitted the new handle/microswitch...

53 plate TD4 Sport 3dr Im pulling my hair (not that I have much) I have run out of ideas on this problem, Ive read all the threads here regarding the tail gate lock and door not opening. (Which have been excellent to get me to this stage) I have successfully got inside the car and removed the...

Frustrated

Hi all, been browsing here a while, I have just bought myself a Freelander 2003 (53) Facelift 3 door TD4 Sport, in what to me is an amazing colour, Monaco Blue??, she's done just 95K and seems to have an excellent pedigree, so fingers crossed I have a good one, so far so good. I'm looking...
