Land Rover Repair: Freelander tailgate window works backwards


Question
Hi.
My 1999 Freelander Tailgate Window is working in reverse.
When you press open it shuts & press shut & it opens.
And the glass dosen`t drop when you open the tailgate.
Plus the rear wiper & demister don`t work.And when i lock
The Freelander it beeps once,meaning somethings wrong.
All iv`e renewed is the cables,the motor is the original one.
Any ideas?.
Thank`s SID.

Answer
Hi Sidney,

you say you renewed the cables and now window works in reverse?  You need to check how you set that up.
