Why does my land Rover Freelander rear door stop working?

Occasionally it won't open electronically or manually. I took it to the garage but they couldn't find anything wrong. Any had this problem before and can you suggest what the fault is?Why does my land Rover Freelander rear door stop working?

pull the panel off the back door and lubricate the door mechanism and all the linkage for the door ,that may help it to open better,they get a certain amount of water in them and that will cause this too happen,good luck with it.
Freelanders are a poor imitation of a land rover plagued with many problems and now made by the Ford motor company, Ford electrics have never been that good. It may be a fault with the Body Electrical Control Module (BeCM), when water gets in the seals it can affect the units operation,

It would be a good idea to take your car to a specialist car electrics garage, rather than a dealer, as this sort of fault seems common. The control units don't appear to be cheap though but a new one will hopefully sort the problem.

If you like off roading why not get a proper British land rover built in the 60's or 70's, built properly and seem to go on forever, very nice with a front winch for sheer climbs!

Good luck

Its an English vehicle, its probably still using Lucas wiring (disguised under a different name, but still Lucas). Get used to the "Prince of Darkness" electronics because most likely you'll be having other electrical gremlins with your car.



Next time buy a vehicle that isn't a yuppie status symbol! The garage couldn't find anything...... that's a big surprise!
the freelander has only one fault.....THE MANUFACTURER.nice car-nasty build quality
there will be a wiring fault in the rear door ,it is from the window mechanism rubbing on the wires inside the door when you operate it up + down. remove the panel an inspect the wires .rejoin any that are broken and re insulate any that have been damaged using quality electrical tape .re secure the wiring out of the way of the window mechanism to prevent it happening again.
They just seem to have this glitch, have you had the rear window winding down by itself yet?!

All quirkes of the newer Landrovers!

I had a Discovery that locked and alarmed itself everytime I filled up with fuel..........If you cant live with it swop the car.
because it is a British land rover
Land-rovers are crap, but better than Ford
