few discovery questions
After you pull the ABS fuse you will NOT have working ABS and the ABS light on the dash will stay on 100% of the time to remind you that you do not have ABS.
Once you have the money you can replace the fuse and take the truck to a Land Rover dealer and get the ABS trouble codes read...then you will pull the fuse back out once they tell you how much it will cost to fix.
ABS wheel sensors for a DI are $400 each, there are 3 on a DI, once for each front wheel and one for the rear axle.
So cheapest fix is $400.
The ABS modulator is a common fail point on DI's, used $1500 last time I checked, new...dont even ask.

wow ok, pulling the fuse it is than. rather than make a new thread ill ask this here, if i were to put in an aftermarket radio, what happens to the anti theft light? and what will i need other than a harness, its a new jvc radio. thank you
radio has nothing to do with anti-theft light they are just coded (meaning a radio code is required to reinstall the radio), as for installing a new radio, most of these systems are amplified so you will need either a special amp integration harness (this will require your JVC to have front and rear RCA's or you will need a line level converter to wire inline, or you will need to rewire the system to bypass the amp (this is what I did as I believe it sounds better, however much more work). when you decide what route you want to take let me know and I can tell you what you need to do.

ok thanks that answered most of my question but i meant like the blinking light thats on the radio for your anti-theft system, can i reroute it somewhere? Also why do i need rca plugs in the front? i have never even seen this. dosent the amp just plug into the rear rca wires? i do have those. My discovery if i get it, will be a 96 with the 7 passenger seats, dual sunroof and leather. does this model have an amp?

you don't need RCA's in the front, the amp should be high in the passenger foot well kick panel, it uses a common ground, low level input. your JVC does not have this type of output, therefore you will either need to convert the high level outputs from the JVC (speaker wires) to low level (with a line level converter), or get an amp integration harness that will use the JVC's RCA's (on the back of the radio, and you will need front and rear RCA outputs). your other option is to find the stock amp, unplug it, determine which wires go to which speakers, then wire from your JVC to those wires bypassing the amp all together (Metra makes a harness to do this with most vehicles but I have not seen one for our trucks, so it has to be done by hand) if you choose to go this route the rave manual will work wonders for you. also these trucks will require a european antenna adapter to work with the JVC as well (they do make a double input adapter but they are hard to find). I lost my AM radio after I put in my Alpine as the secondary antenna carries the AM reception.

I also replaced my factory security with a 2way alarm/remote start and replaced my red instrument cluster security LED, with the Blue high power LED from my alarm it only took about 30 minutes or so to do.(including the time to remove and reinstall the instrument cluster)
alright so i want to use the amp so in order to do this ill need the link to the harness you included and than a regular harness to plug into my jvc headunit. correct? the amp harness has four rca wires coming off of it, im sorry im not good at this ha so i understand 2 go into the back of the jvc radio but where do the other two go? the amp itself? if so theybdo not seem long enough. If possible a list of everything i would need to still use the amp would be great. thanks guys
no all four go into the back of the JVC, the other wires coming off that harness also go to the back of the JVC for the power, amp turn on, and illumination if you want that hooked up (these wires will connect to the harness that came with the JVC when you bought it) if your JVC does not have four RCA jacks on the back of it (make sure they are front and rear and not subwoofer) you will need a line level converter. with most line level converters you will have the option to wire directly to the trucks factory radio wiring or to add an extra set (or 2) of RCA jacks. the downside to using a line out converter is they are a bit bulky and being a single din radio you don't have a lot of room for it back there, but it will fit.
if you need the line level converter Scosch makes a pretty decent and inexpensive one that is sold at walmart it is blue and the model number is SLC4, I couldn't find it on there website but here is a link to it:

if you are not going to bypass the amp you do not need to worry about doing anything with it. all the wires you will need are in the dash behind the radio.
