Gents I've got a bit of a problem with my boot unlatching. Since yesterday any time I open my car using the key fob my boot unlatches, this happens every time I use the key fob which made me think it was a problem with the fob, However I spent a bit of time in my car last night waiting on someone and when I opened the car using the unlock button on the dash the boot opened again. Then when I turned my radio on, ignition off, it opened again. Then When i started the car it opened as soon as I pressed the ignition on button.

This morning it is still doing it with the key fob but hasnt done it with anything else

Has anyone experienced anything like this before?

I found some pretty good looking wiring diagrams on here by Gecko but has anyone got any suggestions for where would be thest place to start.

Looking forward to your reply's!

tailgate issues normal stem from the tailgate electric switch, it fills with water, a simple enough job to change or simply clean it. If Im wrong and replacing/cleaning it doesnt work at least you have saved yourself a future problem

Thanks for that CG.

Just finished having a look at it, Switch was seized solid so i cleaned it out and freed it off. The good news is my boot is no longer opening every time I open my car, the bad news is the boot switch doesn't work so I need to open the boot with the key fob every time. Ill let it dry it as I used quite a bit of cleaning fluid + WD40 on it so maybe the wires have been soaked, If not it looks as though i need a new switch.

wee update - Changed switch and everything is perfect now. Thank goodness for that I had visions of wiring looms and pieces of trim all over the street.

Still no idea why switching the radio on made it open though but nevermind its fixed now. 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE
