1998 Discovery key will not activate the starter. I have been told it may be the driver door lock mechanism will activate the security system and will shut down the starter if the lock is faulty. The lock has not been opening with the fob or key and we have had to open the front door through the back door. Is there a test to check this out or can the lock be by-passed to
start the vehicle.

 

I had installed a new Security lock system in my Office. I called Lock Smith to install such a system so that no one is able to rob the important documents that i had placed in my Office.

 

Hi their the drivers door lock won't stop vehicle from running, is the security led staying on the dash ?

 

I have a 2000 Land Rover Discrovery II. The Lock button on the dash has stopped locking my doors. I have to use my key on the outside of the doors to lock it. Does anyone know if this is simply a matter of replacing the Lock Button on the dash?

Any help would be appreciated it. Thank You.

 

The first post in this thread is from 2010, I'm sure the problem has been worked out by now.
Second post makes no sense anyway.

dbhawke: have you checked fuses? not sure what is under that button, I know that my LR3 has an expensive looking circuit board under the dash buttons and the button itself simply moves to touch a micro switch on said circuit board. I guess this way you have to buy the whole board if one button stops working. If the DII has an actual dedicated single function switch it would be much easier to diagnose than something like in the LR3. If so, it should have 2 or 3 wires - possibly a ground and two power wires that connect when the switch is pressed. Simply remove the switch, jump power across the terminals in the socket and if the doors lock it is definitely the switch.

good luck
