Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / November 2007Tailgate
The display above the steering wheel shows the tailgate as open when the tailgate is closed. Everytime I stop and start to move again, the car beeps. It will also keep the lights on as if a door is open, and drain the battery, so I turned all interior lights off. Does anyone know how to fix the tailgate, or do something to stop the beeping. I don't think it's as easy as pulling a fuse. On Nov 21, 9:18 pm, cdilg...@gmail.com wrote: > The display above the steering wheel shows the tailgate as open when > the tailgate is closed.

Sorry that I don't know where it is.

'tis on the only thing I've got with such an indicator. SignatureAustin Shackles. www.ddol-las.net my opinions are just that Travel The Galaxy!

I think I managed to fiddle with it after removing it, but it's not adjustable. When the latch closes, a part of it presses on the switch. If you can't fix it, you'll need to replace it. DON'T try bypassing it (difficult job anyway) as it also stops the air suspension from dropping while the tailgate is open. Alan C |
