Default RE: 98 traction failure

Hi Mike,

Last Thursday my truck died and had to get towed to the dealership. They were able to start it one more time last Friday and it has been what they call "blacked out" since. They said their computer will not read it and they are baffled. They gave me a loaner to use until they figure something out. They said they have never seen a Range Rover completely black out like this is doing. They made a call into the tech line at Rover and were looking for some answers. Wouldn't you know some freak thing like this happens to me. My truck has ben maintained perfectly. I am the second owner and it has never been off road and every service it has ever needed has ben done and I have had numerous preventative things done. Have you heard of anything like this on a P38? Thanks! Cody

Cody,
I can't say I have ever heard of this happening, and I doubt it was caused by anything you did.
Let me know what they find.
Mike

Hi Mike,

I picked my rover today. What happened was a group of wires corroded and burned up. That caused two relays two pop.It is fixed and running fine. the parts cost $14 dollars and the labor cost $595. So goes the life of being a Range Rover owner. Thanks so much for your correspondence and maybe this will help out someone if this happens to them. Cody
