Dead tailgate

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

My tailgate and window were working fine the other day, then the next day, nothing. I can't open it and I've tried with the key, not even a click. The back window won't work, even from the dashboard switch, again not even a click from the switch. The only thing that does work is the wiper/washer. I'm not sure if the light for the number plate is working but then I'm not sure if it ever did but I'll have a look when I get a chance. The fuse for the window is ok, is there a relay that could have gone?

Hope you guys can help

Oh, its a S reg with the L series diesel.

Hi.

Have you checked the corrugated tube of wire that links the main body to the tailgate ? Is this damaged or severed ?

Also, when I took the tailgate interior door plastic trim off mine, there was a black click on wire connector behind the handle. This may have come adrift. Mind you, you'll have to open the door to get the interior trim off.

There is also an earth connection to the body on either side of the tailgate - you have to remove some of the interior trim to reveal them.

These are commonly a problem with the lock in particular.

Si
