howdy folks

hows everyone these days

96 disco been sitting for five months waiting on funds.

completed (suspension) work, threw in a fresh battery and....nothing.

Got lights, battery is fine, but it wont come out of park, and it wont crank. Got brake lights, checked all the fuses.

When I turn the key to start, nothing dims. not the lights, nothing. doesn't make a sound. faint click from passenger footwell.

So to keep myself from dousing it with gas and lighting it up I decided to post here.

again, ran fine when i put it up. pulled the battery a week after i parked it. didnt even open the hood since then.

Anyone got any thoughts?

 

As to the shifter locked could be brake switch or out of adjustment. The no start sounds like immobiliser needs to be reset because it’s been sitting. There posts out there that describes the reset steps .

 

Any luck yet?

 

Hey!

Got it to shift

Still no crank. Several things clicking down in the passenger footwell.

I have hope

going to mess with it now

 

Keep the thread updated, want to know if the immobilizer is active cuz you probably just added the new juice without pressing the hood switch which normally sets off the blinkers and horn but I wonder?

 

so

jumpered out pins 10 and 11 on C274 at the alarm green box

no change

Ran a wire to the solenoid spade connector up to the battery

JOY

joy joy joy

I have to hot wire it like a thief lolol

but it runs great

drove it around all afternoon

gonna get a toggle switch and drywall screw it to the dash

 

LOL, your getting to be a Rover PRO! Cool and good work my man! Drywall screw.......lol.
