Hello folks. Is there anyone out there who can ID these wires coming off the battery (vehicle is 2010 LR4)? One wire comes off +positive (brown w/blue trace) and the other two wires (green w/red trace and black) end in a plug. The reason I ask, is the two wires who terminate in a plug were trapped under the battery tray bolt head and stripped down to bare.

It looks like the previous owner put a new battery in and trapped those two wires that I since repaired, but it threw no codes or clouds of smoke. While I was under there I also noticed what looks like a missing cover over the two giant plugs (behind battery, next to firewall) which I assume connect to the computer, or is there actually no cover and it just looks like one is missing?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks again, newbie LR4 owner (but previous series IIa, 3, owner)

 

Its for transportation when it comes over on the boat. From the factory, there is a Transit Relay on the positive battery cable. When the dealer removes it, they cap it off with a cap taped to the positive cable. This usually gets lost when the battery is replaced.
Also keep in mind that the battery monitor should be reset any time you replace a battery on a vehicle with a monitor (that is the device on the negative cable). Unfortunately that requires a Land Rover diagnostic tool.

 

Great, thanks for the info Techniker. I was planning a trip to the dealer anyway, as I just installed the trailer harness and it doesn't show on the dash, so perhaps they can reset both then.

 

They will charge for the trailer feature. They will have to hook up to the factory diagnostic terminal and configure the Car Configuration File (CCF) for trailer applications. The car will then think it left the factory with trailer option

 

I should probably invest in one of those GAP tools as soon as the funds become available lol

 

Thank you! I came here looking exactly for this. Thought I pulled something out while replacing the battery.
cheers!
