Freelander Rear window/Door

[4wdingmatt]

Hi all.

My mother has a 2001 Freelander wagon (5 door) and the Rear Window and Door will not open.

I am thinking it is a rear Window problem as the window will not come down by pressing the button on the dash niether.

The rear washer/wiper works and thats it.

Any help would be great!!

Right... That rear door, window, etc... is controlled by the ECU. The rear door handle & button on the console got direct to the ECU from where it controls the window motor.

There is a self test diag mode which you can get into with a sequence of button presses & ign key turns. IIRC - It's:

1 - Ign off.
2 - Ign on.
3 - Press fog light.

Repeat 4 times within 2 sec!!! If done correctly, the car should beep, at which point, leave the ign on.

From there, press the CDL (central locking) switch and it will cycle through the various different things that the ECU controls. One of which will be the rear window.

When you get to the rear window test, it will drop the window, then the next time you press the CDL, it'll open the rear door. If the rear door unlocks without the rear window dropping, chances are, you've got a buggered motor!

Mark - WTF - what sick puppy thought up that routine - somebody at Landrover sure has a warped sense of humour.

Most ECUs have some sort of diag mode... There's something similar for the late Classic RaRos but IIRC that ECU only controls 5 devices.

Here you go, here's the proper sequence:

* Turn ignition to position II.
* Press & hold fog lamp switch.
* Turn ignition off.
* Turn ignition to position II.
* Release fog lamp switch.

There should be a beep to signal that you are now into the self test.

They say that you've got 4 seconds to complete this sequence but I've found
it to be more like 1 second!!!!
