Very strange thing happening with this 02 disco if bought for my wife. Had this problem the entire time I have had it.

It is intermitent, but you press the door lock switch or the auto locks go off the rear wiper will start going, a yellow dhc light comes on the dash, the a/c will turn off for a few seconds, and sometimes the truck will stall.

I replaced the fuel pump, and then the crank sensor, and fixed the problem of dying after running 20 minutes and then not restarting till cooled off. The fuel pump was not the problem...

Rebuilt the front prop shaft, fixed the cricket sound and chatter, luckilly before having to replace the tranny. $60 to rebuild, my rover guy wanted to charge me $200 for a used shaft, after telling me they were trash when they go out and cant be rebuilt. Thank you Land Rover Forums.

If it were not for this forum, I would have traded this thing off long ago. I'm just waiting when I find a pearl 04 disco, get that for her and I take this one. I already got the springs and tires picked out!

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. I really dont know where to start. Is there a common problem with grounds on this thing, or a fuse/relay blocks?

I'm scratchin my head here...

 

offtopic:is your wife hot? maybe he's trying to get her attention? judging from your post, he has been successful.

 

hell yeah she's hot, i eat her muffins all the time...

ok guys, i have narrowed it down a little i think.

I pulled the bcu, looked it over and found nothing. pulled the fuse box and found that one of the micro relays has a crack across the top, so it isnt sealed anymore. also, a lot of oxidation on the board. didnt find any burn spots or circuts pealing.

I did a little test, found that turning the rear wiper on, or pushing the central locking switch would make the light come on the dash.

I pulled the fuse for both and i do not have this problem anymore.

the pins for cdl, rear wiper, and start enable are very close together on the bcu, but there is no evidence of corrosion or damange. as well the fuses for the locks and wiper are side by side in the fuse box.

before i pulled the lock fuse i put my fingers on the relays while hitting the lock button, and found that i felt the one clicking and it was the one with the crack in it.

you guys think i should buy a new fuse block? it comes with all the relays and idm and a 5 year warranty for $75.

what do you think?
