Hi I posted on here a while back about my alternator, which I did get replaced and they found also it was a fuse. Well, now my rear door won't 'catch' when I shut it and have to lock the car internally when I am driving so it doesn't come open as I have two children in the rear seats and my reverse lights do not work either which I found odd the fact both have gone together. My upper break strip on the door and lights work, not sure of the fogs though but my neighbour again suggested a fuse had gone to the lights??? and I know the catch maybe damaged but can't think how, I had a fiddle and it seems it the catch in the actuall door itself does not move across like its supposed to. Wondered how much all this is going to cost as I have had nothing but trouble the last couple of months and am really really considering selling though I have no idea which 7 seater is reliable?

 

Thanks!

Nicky

I did the wiring fix myself yesterday. Have a look here:

Pull the rubber trunking down and have a look. If you've got broken wires, then that's your problem. If anll the wires are intact, then it's something else!

 

 

Hi, Cheers for that, which rubbger trunking is it as there are two wibbly wobbly rubbery tubes either side at the top, odd thing is recently the catch does catch and doesn't lol so I'm thinking its being tempremental. But would like to know if it cost much to replace the wiring if its that? Rough estimate would be fine.

The wiring is on the RIGHT as you look at it from behind the car, the rear/wash water supply is on the left.

 

If you can't repair it yourself then it shouldn't cost much for an auto electrician to repair. My old Mk1 lost its third breaklight prior to me owning it and she had it repaired for
