HI there. New to your forum and need help.
2000 Discovery 2 ran perfect last night. This morning, wife went to start, hazard lights came on, car turned over fine with plenty of energy, but has not started in 15-20 attempts. Can not turn hazards off, kind of strange.
Please share cure for starting car if known. THANKS!!!

 

Try reseting the switch that is located on the pass side fire wall, it may have tripped itself and needs to be reset. If that doesn't work, get back to me.

Thanks. I apologize for my lack of knowledge, but could you be more specific on the location of this switch and how I reset it. Thanks for your speedy reply.

 

I pulled the fuse for my hazards to save the battery. Presed the button that sits alone under the hood on pass firewall, just opposite the glove campartment. Still won't start, but has plenty of energy to turn over. Fuel guage still correct.

 

The security system sometimes flakes out. Try locking and then unlocking the vehicle with the remote first. Then try to start it. If no-go, then from the outside try locking and then unlocking the vehicle with the key. And then try to start it.

Do the lock and unlock 3 times slowly with either the key or the remotem then try starting the engine.

Thanks Mike and Geoman!!
Unfortunately the lock thing did not work out.
However, re-tracing my steps the last 24 hours, I did fill the tank yesterday morning.
I was able to put 22.5 gallons in it with a capacity of 25 gallons. Normally, I can only put 18-20 gallons in it.
Perhaps letting it get that low allowed sediment to clog filter or injectors?
Does this sound reasonable? If so, what is my next step?
Thanks so much!!

Well, your Disco II does not have a external fuel filter-- only a "sock" filter on the fuel pump which is immersed in the fuel tank.

You are saying that the engine cranks over just fine, but does not even make any attempt at starting? Have the wife turn the key to the on position (not all the way to the start position) while you listen at the fuel tank in back. You should hear a "whine" from the electric pump for a few seconds---until it builds pressure. If no noise--- then possibly you lost the fuel pump.

Geoman

 

Thanks. I'll try that asap. What about spark plugs?
Thanks again, Kevin

 

Do you have a check engine light on?
