Download the Service Manual, it has instructions. (RAVE, in my signature) This is answering your question, not telling you that you need to replace that switch.

I'm trying to remember exactly how I opened it, I think what I did was to download the file, extract that file to another folder, then ran "autorun" from the extracted folder. (at least that's how I think I did it.) it must have been simple because if it isn't I end up calling my son (the computer engineer) to do it.

I don't use the menu system, I just go to the particular folder, "LT" is the one with all the Disco 2 items. "General" has overhaul section.

or you can use the alternate link in my signature and just download the sections desired already in pdf.

Hopefully you can clean it out and reseal it. Some say the AC condensate drain keeps it wet, some have rerouted drain slightly with extra hose.

How do you know you need to replace the switch and be specific?

.-Well. I have the "m" & "s" lights flashing, and I took it to a Land Rover service shop, they told me it could be a problem with the battery and the alternator, I changed both, they told me if the battery and alternator are good it should be the XYZ switch...

.-Ok, I replaced the XYZ switch, and it seems everything is fine now, but, what should I do if the "M" "S" lights show up again? What could it be?
