I recently purchased a 91 Range Rover, which needed a new water pump based on a visit to the local LR dealer. I was able to start and drive the the vehicle for short distances adding water as needed. I changed the water pump, thermostat, upper and lower hoses without issue. I also changed the oil and filter. I was careful not to disconnect any wires or tubes during the process. I refilled the cooling system as directed in a repair manual. Now the vehicle will not turn over. The battery is relatively new and all electrical accessories work fine, however, when I turn the key nothing happens. I'm not even getting a sound from the starter. The check engine, oil and water warning lights are lit after the initial turn of the key.

Is there something that I need to "reset"? I'm not sure what I am missing? Any suggestions or diagnostics would be appreciated. I have experience with cars, but none with Range Rovers.

Thanks.

 

Try jump starting it, classic rovers like to fake you out, making you think everything is fine. Lights don't go dimm or anything and then nothing happens when you go to start it. If that does not work then try looking for some fuses that might have been blown.

 

Turns out the small brown wire on the solenoid was disconnected. Made the connection and it cranked right up.

 

Well, good lol. I love it when the solution is something simple like that.
