I saw that on his disocovery2.co.uk site. It is step 20 on that site.

 

How many of you that have installed a CDL lever have cut the C0506 wire so you don't get the 3 amigo's lights on if you have the CDL engaged while you shut the engine off. Is there any negatives to cutting this wire?

 

I always look at cutting wires to get things to work as a hack job, others feel that it's ok.

Personally, instead of cutting wires, replacing your SLABS module with one from a 2004 (~$50 on eBay) will mitigate the 3 Amigo's upon CDL locked restart. I also hear the SLABS control strategy was superior in 2004.

I never thought about replacing the SLABS with one from an 04. Thanks for the tip.

 

Jim, that is what I did: replace my SLABS ECU with one from a 2004, when my original developed an internal fault causing the Amigos. Possibly one of the best investments I have made for my Disco, other than when I installed the 04 CDL shifter assembly.

 

I know this is a super old post, but I definitely want to do this mod on my 2000 DII and i just have one question before i move forward.

I have heard there are some transfer cases that do not have the central diff lock and some that do, i just want to be sure mine has it before i move forward, so how can i tell if mine has the CDL???

THANK YOU!!

 

Feel for a nipple on top of the TC at the front just above and about 2 inches back. If you see or feel 3 bolts with a shaft in the middle = CDL, if you feel nothing but a flat spot = No CDL.

Also for quicker & more precise answers I highly recommend filling out your signature with your vehicle specs.

 

Thanks so much! Im getting under her tonight and will see what we are working with.

filled out the signature... not that there is much to say there, but i will keep it up to date.

Thanks again!
