Hi

On my range the glass part won't open, I can't open it all to change the boot switch, could anybody please help me with this? The whole boot opens but would like the top section to open aswell

Any advice on how to open it, replace switch would be great

Thanks

Have a look here mate

hi

thanks for the reply, but how do I get the plastic switch bit out?? ive just tried with a knife either side and tried to lever it out, but wont budge??

Hi, best way to avoid any damage is to take off the rear trim panel completely then you have great access to the switch. Be prepared for a shock at seeing all the rust and crud under there though.

If the tailgate glass won't open with the switch try programming the third button on your remote to open it (see owner's manual for that)

hi

thanks again for the reply, ive tried pressing the 3rd button on the fob but nothing worked, ive managed to get the switch out and cleaned it up, sprayed a little wd40 onit but still don't work??

Did you try checking the microswitch for continuity? It is quite common for it to fail as water gets in. A complete replacement unit only costs about £17 from Land Rover so worth a try. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

hi mate

I did try the switch and seems to be working fine, but very corroded, I don't mind replacing the switch if that is the problem?

thanks for your help

Hi, not sure if you mean it looks OK or if you actually checked it with a multimeter. It's quite a big unit but the circuit is controlled by tiny microswitch tucked inside. Definitely worth changing it for the modest cost and if that doesn't fix things then look a bit further? 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

I didn't do any tests on the microswitch, what ill do is change the switch and go from there

hopefully that will sort it out

thanks

I got this problem to now? I changed to unit after a few mins of playing around getting it out with no damage but still nothing? Any ideas is there a fuse for it

Hi ya

I changed the switch on mine and all sorted, I'm sure others will
Help you on here

Great bunch of lads

Thanks

Easy way to check if its the switch,unplug the switch you will be left with a female connector on the car,get a small piece of wire insert into the connector thus making a circuit,if the glass opens you then know it's the switch.

I changed to switch but still nothing is there a fuse just for it? Or can I test for power anywhere ? Don't forget the glass is closed so not much I can do if I need to open it?

I had this problem too, changed the switch but still didn't work. The third button in my spare key opens it so the powered lock on the main boot side works. Apparently the wiring that goes from the switch, round the window and back round in to the main boot to the lock gets corroded and fails. Looks like I'll have to root a new wire in to fix it, or just live with it! 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE- Cairns Blue with 22" Stormers
