Simon_CSK Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I am breaking my P38 Range Rover and have stripped lots of critical electrics out of the car without opening the tailgate. Without wishing to damage the tailgates what is the best way to open them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 If you have RAVE, located the wires going to the tailgate lock and apply 12V. Alternatively, take the inside trimpanel off (not easy, but can be done) and operate the levers by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sparkes Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 If you have RAVE, located the wires going to the tailgate lock and apply 12V. The wires will be found lying on the floor when you tip the RH base of the rear seat forward. For the colours you need RAVE. Oh well, I needed to look it up sometime for myself. Apply 12v +ve to the Purple wire, and 12v -ve (Earth) to the Green/Red wire, THEN push the button, and hope the button works. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poohbear Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Multiplug connector for tailgate is in the osr wing just under antenna amplifier. Might be easier to find than digging around looms in the sills. Hth, Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
