Footwell? It that different from the box under the steering wheel? The rover is at the shop so I am not sure how to get into it, Picture?

 

As you stated, it's the box under the steering wheel secured by 2 plastic screws.

 

That's the one.

You can remove it, take it apart, and spray with electronics cleaner...I use Deoxit. It's not a permanent fix but if it runs after you do that you can buy some time to find a good used one.

 

update
still at shop waiting for parts to interchange. He says he has someone that has parts so not purchase new yet. I think the guy is on vacation right now. will check with him today.
Don't know if he has looked for the short-discharge

Hi,

Did you ever resolve this issue? My son in law's problem with his truck seems to be similar.

Thanks,

Jeff

 

no still at shop

 

OK, Thanks, and good luck! I'm going over Saturday to try to get his sorted, if we have luck I will post what we find.

after many months the rover is running. changed out the fuse box under the dash and they got it to run. That's all I am saying as I done want to jinx me.
every time I say that things are working well something goes wrong.

 

Great! Nice to see a fix here.
