Re: Electric Window Fix

my thought was as both rear windows do not work from their own switches but work from the drivers panel, then the problem may be related to the child lock switch

406 Tailgate open warning light always on

Peeps

I have picked up a 406 est today and the tailgate open light is perminantley displayed on the dashboard.

I assume that its going to be something like a bad earth or broken wire

anyone else had this problem and where is best to start looking?

thanks in advance
