Why dome lights with fade do not work when doors are opened or closed?

1. Central locking not working. 2. Tailgate window not working. 3. Tailgate wiper and washer not working. 4. Tailgate cargo light not working. 5. Tailgate heated window not working. 6. Tailgate latch and lock not working. 7. Interior dome lights with fade, when doors are opened not working.

    To the above items not working, the fuses are all okay.

  • Anonymous Apr 07, 2012

    The 2003 Freelander is left-handed drive.
    The fuse box is in the left glove box; just left and below the steering wheel.
    Is the voltage inertia switch in the same location?
    Where is the Central Control Unit?

    I will give you the V.I.N. of the 2003 Freelander - # SALNM22233A236475.
    Can you start from scratch with this information?

All of the items you listed are controlled by the Central Control Unit (AKA body control module) which is located under the right side of the dash behind the glove box.

The CCU has several battery voltage inputs which should be checked:

Fuse #8 (15 Amp), (Hot in RUN or START) and Fuse #15 (20 Amp) (HOT AT ALL TIMES) in passenger compartment fuse block.
Fuse #10 (10 Amp) (HOT AT ALL TIMES) in the engine compartment fuse block, via the inertia switch located ay the left rear side of the engine compartment.

Note: the inertia switch supplies power to pin #18 (BLUE/GREEN wire) at the CCU connector C0428. If there is battery voltage at this pin, the inertia switch is OK.

When you check your fuses, make sure they have power when they are supposed to have power. I have had many people simply LOOK at the fuses and tell me they are OK only to find out that the fuse has no power even though it is not blown. (possible connector or wiring problem to the fuse itself).

If this information is not enough to locate the problem, you will need a scan tool that is capable of two-way communication with your onboard computer network to continue diagnosis.

    Now I am confused....The information I gave you is for a left handed drive vehicle....

    The passenger compartment fuse box is mounted under the right side of the dash and the CCU is actually mounted to the rear of the fuse block. If this is not how it is with your vehicle, I do not know what to tell you. Apparently, you do not live in the US or Canada. This can make a lot of differences. The only service information I have comes from LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA, INC.

    Now I am REALLY confused. Apparently, somebody got mixed up when they designed the "component locator list" for this vehicle. When I go to the "control unit location" graphics, it clearly shows the fuse block being under the left side of the dash as you described, however, it shows the CCU under the right side of the dash in another graphic. Then another graphic shows the CCU close-up, where it is mounted to the back of the fuse block. So it looks to me that Land Rover needs to get it together where it comes to service information. I think they are confusing information between different markets....

  • Anonymous Apr 09, 2012

    Sorry, the VIN does no good on this end. I still get the same conflicting information from my information services. You may try running this past the dealer and see if any better information can be obtained that way.

    It doesn't matter much anyway...Even if you find the CCM, you cannot change it without the proper equipment to program it. You really need to access the computer network on your vehicle to check for Diagnostic Test Codes (DTCs) FIRST before you attempt to replace any parts anyway. There may be something simple like a loose wire connector that can be fixed without any parts and you will need the DTCs so you know which circuit or circuits are involved. It may even give you a code telling you that the CCM itself is defective (CCM internal failure).

Try spraying some lubricant into the latch and handle assembly and pull it back and forth to work it in.. You may want to remove the rear trim to get better access to the internals of the latch cable....

It may be set in the main menu to lock only by the fob. I know on GMC's there are about 7 different locking options. I'm not a specialist in Land Rovers but the cheapest way out is to check all your options on the dash/steering wheel buttons.

SOURCE: Passenger door will not lock

i would put my money on the solenoid inside the door needs replacement. it does the physical work of locking and unlocking, if all the others are working then that is most likely the culprit.

2010 Ceed estate boot mechanism not working, have replaced motor, no luck, any other suggestions?

Have you checked to see if the actual wiring to the motor has power? If you are getting nothing at the button it may not be the motor causing the issue. The emergency release is a mechanical pull so it is seperate to the motor.
Have you checked the fuses? There is a fuse for the tailgate in the dashboard fuse panel. With the drivers door wide open the fuse box is behind a pull off cover on the flat end panel of the dashboard. You need to check fuse 19 labelled 'T/LID'. It will be a 15A fuse, (usually blue).
Try this website for a Diagram of the fuse panel.

How can I lock a renault megane 56 plate without the key card as it is not working

Locking/Unlocking the doors from the outside
This is done using the RENAULT Card; see the "RENAULT Card" information in Section 1.
In certain cases, the RENAULT card may not work:
- if the RENAULT card battery is weak, flat, etc.
- if equipment operating on the same frequency as the card (mobile phones, etc.) is used;
- vehicle located in a high electromagnetic radiation zone.
It is then possible:
- to use the key integrated into the card to unlock the front left-hand door;
- to lock each of the doors manually;
- to use the interior door locking/unlocking control (refer to the following pages).
Using the key integrated in the RENAULT card
Insert key 1 into the lock in the driver's door and lock or unlock. Locking the doors manually
Turn screw 2 with the door open (using the end of the key) and close the door.
This means that the doors are then locked from the outside.
The doors may then only be opened from the inside or by using the key in the front left-hand door. Interior locking/unlocking door control
Switch 3 controls the doors, boot and, depending on the vehicle, the fuel filler flap simultaneously.
If a door or the tailgate is open or not closed properly, the doors and tailgate lock/unlock quickly.
If you need to transport objects with the boot open, the other opening elements can still be locked: with the engine stopped, press switch 3 for more than five seconds to lock the other opening elements.
Locking the doors without the RENAULT card
For example, in the event of a discharged battery or the RENAULT card temporarily not working, etc.
With the engine switched off and an opening element (door or boot) open, press and hold switch 3 for more than five seconds.
When the door is closed, all the doors and the tailgate will be locked.
Unlocking the vehicle from the outside is only possible with the RENAULT card in the vehicle's access zone or using the key integrated in the RENAULT card.
Door and tailgate status indicator
With the ignition on, the warning light integrated in switch 3 informs you of the locking status of the opening elements:
- indicator light on, the doors and tailgate are locked,
- indicator light off, the doors and tailgate are unlocked.
When you lock the doors, the indicator light remains lit and then goes out.

1997 Dodge caravan. Dome lights(2) and tailgate courtesy lights(2) do not turn on. with either 1.opening the tailgate; 2. opening any other door ; 3. using the in dash switch. Trouble shooting: 1 Checked...

Not sure about your car but on my KIA the dome and rear gate light have switches on the light assemblies themselves for on/off all time/on with door. Check to see if you have same. Also, there may be another "dash" switch, typically on the dash dimmer switch which may be turned all the way from dim to off. Check your dash dimmer switch. Relays are typically in a fuse box under the hood.

The interior light module is not timing out. The possibility of the interior lights staying on could run your battery down over night. Replace the interior light module.

Dome lights won't turn off

Been having a problem with the dome lights on a 99 chevy blazer. Still can't figure out what the problem is. There is a dome light overide button located under the dimmer wheel. When I push the overide button in the dome light goes off, but when I open any of the doors the dome light will not come on. When the overide button is out the dome light stays on all the time and will not turn off even though every door is closed. I checked all the pushbuttons and everything tests good. Has anyone had this problem and know how to fix it?
