Post by: taz4x4 on April 28, 2013, 02:37:10 PM

Just one of those niggling little problems that someone may have solved before?

it probably sized and therefore it may be burn out.
You need to strip it down and have a look see if the motor moves

ok broken wire or connector where the wire's go from the door to the body that's the other thing that happens
I take it that all the fuses are checked

If the switch lights up when you put the headlights on it shouldn't be the switch but that is a common problem

Gonna have to check them again tried initially but after nearly crippling myself to get to them! Decided as i could hear the clicking solenoid power must? be getting to it unless there is a  separate feed for solenoid and another for the motor itself?
As i said hate electrics Lol
Ah well back outside for another look  :jpshakehead:

It will be in the joint between the car and the rear boot... Its a pain to do but if you pull the rubber out from either side and take the brake light out it helps.
