First Land Rover, couple issuse.
I bought my first Land Rover this past Thursday and it has a couple issues. Fues 15 under the steering wheel that goes to the cigar lighter, interior lights, seat heaters and vanity lights. I put a 20 amp fuse and it pops immediately. I'm thinking it is the seat heaters drawing too much juice. My question is, are the butt warmers a known issue on these trucks?
Thank you,

As a new owner you would want the complete set of tech manuals and electrical diagrams with photos and maps of connection layouts, it is called the RAVE and you can find many posts on this forum to download it. And some people carry a copy on a usb drive, so thay can spend lunch hour thinking about what to fix next. Also handy to carry in truck in case you stop at an indy shop.
In the process of taking apart seats to swap out both my driver and passenger seat I noticed that seat heaters must get quite warm, the upholstery foam is normally cream color, but around the heater panels they looked a much darker brown. I used salvage passenger seats from two different D1s to replace both of mine, just puts the lumbar **** on the left side of driver seat. I did not hook up the $27 salvage seats that had warmers, not really an issue down here in the southern swamps. By the way, D1 and D2 seats do not interchange.

The seat heaters have their own fuses located under the seats.
"NEVER" up grade a fuse unless you want to burn up a wire harness.
What year truck and how many miles on it?
Plan on rebuilding the front drive shaft prior to it's failing and taking out the tranny and consider doing my major service list posted on a sticky at the top of the section.

Thanks everyone, I looked when I got home this evening and the front axle and drive shaft look new (cleaner, shiney) more so than the rest of the undercarrage.
I am going to get to the bottom of the problem with fuse #15 on Monday and fix the three amigos idiot lights as soon as my parts get here.
Alrighty guys and gals time to go to bed.
