I have a 2007 LCI E61, it is ex police, the rear tailgate window will not open, I suspect that the police have somehow deactivated this as a anti theft measure, but i want it to work, does anyone know why it might not open? I was thinking a fuse may have been removed? If so where would this fuse be located so i can replace it?? If not fuse related how else can it be opened, is there a "manual" release? Thanks!

Have search forum but can't find relating to my issue hence question, please read my issue, nothing to do with heating, wiper etc, can't open glass. If you know of a specific thread then please indicate with a link, otherwise telling people to search is rather unhelpful when they have!

 

Does your rear window defroster heater work at all?

 

Any other issues with functions of tailgate? If so, maybe wires? If not., new to this but I think the car has to be completely unlocked by dash button or key fob. Seems like I stopped, motor off, remove key, 2 pulls to get out door- glass would not open until I unlocked via key fob. I think!!

 

Rear demister works fine, as does the tailgate release, the glass only does not work.

 

water my have damaged the micro switch/circuitry, try taking it to bits and touch the wires together, see if it pops open, that may narrow it down, that's what I did, then replaced about £30
