Is it just the one door and mirror and window that is not working? Is the fob locking all the other doors? Previously..

I have not come across this problem by simply getting a flat battery. a couple of questions that may help diagnose it:

Can you operate the passenger windows from the drivers control?

Can you operate either mirror?

All other locks and windows work as normal?

Do the puddle lights work?

Do you have any fault codes in the BCM? (assuming you have an IID tool or similar, If not than i would seriously look at getting one if you plan to keep the range rover for any length of time)

Also have you tried a battery disconnect and reset, although this is unlikely to help if you have none of the above as they are controlled by different control units.

It sounds like the connector has come loose in the door. If you have that many faults in one door I would think it would be something straight forward like that. Previously..

That's my first point of call this weekend, I kind of thought the same, thought I'd ask the question here as we all know how weird the electrics behave on a ffrr. Thought it may have been mentioned before.

There are videos on youtube that show you how to strip the door down.  Previously..

I had this problem after getting a flat battery a few times while working on my car and also having the alarm going off and not being able to stop it as battery went too flat. i also disconnected the battery backup sounder for the alarm. When i charged the battery on the vehicle and started using it i had no power going to the passenger door and no BCU faults on the all comms but my faultmate didn't like connecting to the BCU.

I was checking fuses again by actually removing them to test rather than connecting a meter across them and when i removed fuse 15 to check it i got a continuous very loud beep from the alarm sounder i think and when i replaced the fuse the noise stopped and the door worked again !
Just thought i would share that with the group.
i think a battery disconnect would achieve the same result.

Appreciate it’s an old thread but just had this on mine after alternator death.

Battery disconnect didn’t solve it but pulling fuse 15, which put the sounder on, and putting it back did reset the system.

Fuse was fine as I had tested it previously but just hadn’t pulled it. Doh!

I only did this after taking the door card off and disconnecting the A pillar to door wiring - which was a PITA.
