    freelander tailgate lock

    To be honest I did not try putting a new earth connection to it yesterday. I only tried a new positive from the CCU. I did notice that the earth connection to the connector was jointed with silver crimps with other earth wires onto a thicker earth cable.

    freelander tailgate lock

    It is 3 door. I disconnected the connectors from the door lock and the latch switch and the relay in the CCU still operated with the passenger door unlocked. I can try the roof switches and I can test the battery tomorrow. :) I didnt think of the roof switch. I didnt see that being an issue...

    freelander tailgate lock

    I can rule out a short in the wires as I ran new ones from the CCU. I can still hear the CCU relay clicking when I have the connector unplugged from the tailgate solenoid. I removed the CCU from the back of the fuse box and on refitting it the car wont start. When I turn the ignition over...

    freelander tailgate lock

    The window drops as it should and the lock unlocks the door. If I was to drive off the door would open. When I close it it will not open again until I lock the doors and unlock them again.

    Propshaft nightmare with photos

    I can buy a used complete prop with vcu for between 150 and 250 quid or buy just the front prop and 1 x bearing mount brand new for £200... I could buy the used one and then put my vcu and rear prop on ebay to get a little back. Decisions decisions
