Freelander 1 Rear Door Fix – Door Won’t Open – Easy Fix!

If your Freelander 1 rear door will not open when you squeeze the handle and also the rear window doesn’t go down either then here is a fairly simple fix. It does involve changing the microswitch, but very cheap and fairly easy to do.

This is the replacment switch I used:

Having had this issue myself in the past I must admit to stopping at the point where it was the micro switch and buying the whole handle off eBay. I love how you went that step further to fixing the root cause. Great video would have saved me the £70 odd quid I spent on the handle ! Keep them coming
