Land Rover Repair: Freelander Rear Window, fuse box, window switch


Question
My '99 Freelander rear window cable has broken and the glass has dropped like a guillotine.  Replacing the cable does not look like a problem, but all cables etc have come apart.  Where can I find a "cable schematic" of how this all goes together and what "ports" are used on the regulator (there are a number un-used).

Thanks,
DG

Answer
Hi Dennis,

here's what I've found:

Rear Door Windows
General
Feed from the positive battery terminal (C0192) is supplied to fusible link 3 and fusible link 4 of the engine compartment fuse box (C0632) on an R wire. Fusible link 4 (C0574) provides a constant battery feed to the window lift relay (C0587) on an NW wire.

The window lift relay is located in the passenger compartment fuse box. Fusible link 4 (C0574) also provides a constant battery feed to the Central Control Unit (CCU) (C0593) and the auxiliary relay on an NW wire. The CCU is mounted directly onto the rear of the passenger compartment fuse box.

Fusible link 3 (C0571) is connected to the ignition switch (C0028) by an N wire. When the ignition switch is turned to the 'ignition' position, current flows across the switch (C0028) to fuse 8 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0588) on a G wire. Fuse 8 provides an ignition feed to the CCU (C0593).

LH Rear Window
Fuse 26 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0585) provides a feed to the console mounted LH rear window switch (C0264) on a WK wire.

When the LH rear console switch is pressed to lower the window, current flows across the switch (C0264) to the door mounted switch (C0732) on a GR then WR wire. The door mounted switch (C0732) now provides a feed to the window lift motor (C0304) on an R wire.

Current flows across the motor (C0304) and back to the door mounted switch (C0732) on a U wire. The door mounted switch (C0732) is provided an earth path via the console mounted switch (C0264) on a WU then GU wire.

The console mounted switch (C0264) is earthed on a B wire. The window will now move downwards until the switch is released. When the LH rear console switch is pressed to raise the window, current flows across the switch (C0264) to the door mounted switch (C0732) on a GU then WU wire.

The door mounted switch (C0732) now provides a feed to the window lift motor (C0304) on a U wire. Current flows across the motor (C0304) and back to the door mounted switch (C0732) on an R wire. The door mounted switch (C0732) is provided an earth path via the console mounted switch (C0264) on a WR then GR wire.

The console mounted switch (C0264) is earthed on a B wire. The window will now move upwards until the switch is released.

RH Rear Window
Fuse 27 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0586) provides a feed to the console mounted RH rear window switch (C0263) on a WN wire.

When the RH rear console switch is pressed to lower the window, current flows across the switch (C0263) to the door mounted switch (C0732) on a WR wire. The door mounted switch (C0732) now provides a feed to the window lift motor (C0304) on an R wire. Current flows across the motor (C0304) and back to the door mounted switch (C0732) on a U wire. The door mounted switch (C0732) is provided an earth path via the console mounted switch (C0264) on a WU wire.

The console mounted switch (C0263) is earthed on a B wire. The window will now move downwards until the switch is released.

When the RH rear console switch is pressed to raise the window, current flows across the switch (C0263) to the door mounted switch (C0732) on a WU wire. The door mounted switch (C0732) now provides a feed to the window lift motor (C0304) on a U wire. Current flows across the motor (C0304) and back to the door mounted switch (C0732) on an R wire. The door mounted switch (C0732) is provided an earth path via the console mounted switch (C0264) on a WR wire.

The console mounted switch (C0263) is earthed on a B wire. The window will now move upwards until the switch is released.

NOTE: Both rear door window lift motors, and both rear door mounted switches have the same connector numbers as they utilise the same harness.

YOU MAY WANT TO USE THE OTHER DOOR AS AN EXAMPLE.

I hope this description helps.
