Hi

Just wanted to give a big shout out to Marty, windows and sunroof started playing up and after a bit of research came across this 6 year old post
https://rangerovers.pub/topic/6-info-repairing-window-switchpack-switches

Carried out some open heart surgery on the centre switch pack last night as per Marty's clear instructions and it all works again.

All whilst listening to Chelsea beating Tottenham on the radio, cracking evening, COYI (work that one out in 6 year time)

Hi all

Major progress today, the Icarsoft idea didn't work so I decided to focus on the mechanical route as the issue, I put the window down so I could peer in through the gap at the top and could see that the inside handle mechanism didn't seem to be sitting in its 'home' position, with a few pulls on the inside handle it was clear that it wasn't moving anything regardless of the lock position so I assume the cable has stretched or the lock end of the cable is stiff.
I managed to poke a rod down onto the top of the cable catch and push it all the way home. after this a press of the fob unlocked all doors and they stayed unlocked.

The door works freely now from the outside and I'll order a new cable for the inside latch and give it all a good squirt of WD40 before i put it all back together.
I guess when I got out the first time and shut the door the inner catch hadn't sprang back fully, but just enough to for the door to catch on the first stage, when I pushed on the door further to close it rather than open it completely to start again it then went into superlock confusion mode. Having aligned the inner handle piece of the lock mechanism it reset itself.

Many thanks for your responses, any hints on fixing the rear window back in place :-)

So i managed to get into the car, I took the back window intact, the mastic had gone hard anyway and was bouncing each time i shut it so i knew it would be fairy straight forward.

So now i'm back to where i started, drivers door will defiantly not budge with or without the key or fob, it is acting like a mislock in reverse where it locks instead of opening. I tried it with all doors and bonnet shut as I read with one of these open it would simulate the issue.

My next thought it to put my Icarsoft reader on it and see if i can clear any faults? and thoughts?

Thanks all for your feedback, I do have a spare fob and the light comes on so I can only presume the battery is good and its programmed correctly, unfortunately it doesn't recognize the vehicle,

Also the metal blade doesn't mechanically do anything either, neither backwards or forwards, which goes back to the original issue of how I couldn't open the drivers door with the original key fob in the first place. It's been raining for 2 days so I'll have another go at it tomorrow, I might change the fob battery in case that's too weak to send a signal to unlock?

Thanks,
I've just tried the above but didn't it work, it looks the knob doesn't raise far enough compared to the near side door.

My day has just got a whole lot worse, 😢 I open the front near side to climb in and put the key in the ignition to lower the window to take a photo, I then jumped in the back to shut the drivers window, climbed out and shut the door just as the wind blew the near side front door shut! result. keys now locked in the car in the ignition on the first click. Spare fob has never worked and would need reprogramming (not sure it would work with the first key already in the ignition). luckily the bonnet was still open so i've removed the battery terminal for now. Make a good sketch show this!

Hi all,
I was a member ages ago but it didn't seem to recognise me when i logged in hence the newbie date. Gilbertd you kindly came round mine near Stansted years ago with your Nanocom to clear my faults (on the car that is)

Anyway hopefully this is a simple one. I got out of the car at the weekend and shut the door behind me and locked it with the fob. what I hadn't realised was the door was only on the first latch so i pushed it fully home. Now the door wont open, all the other doors unlock OK.

When I press the fob the knobs spring up but go straight back down, i've tried pulling on the handle during this process but it wont budge. I guess its now under pressure and as it hasn't released all 4 doors goes straight into lock mode.

I've tried with the engine running and also the battery disconnected, turning the key whilst pressing the fob and trying to open from the inside. all to no avail. Gut feeling its a mechanical not an electrical issue, any ideas what to try next. Thanks.
