I almost wonder if it's the transfer case module. Behind the battery up by the firewall is a silver module with three connectors. Pull them loose and look for corrosion. If it's there pic up some electrical connection cleaner and a soft bristle toothbrush to clean it up cost it with dielectric grease reconnect. Than do a hard reset and give it a go

Thank you for all your help. There is some tom foolery going on with my LR. There is water in the carpets of the front passenger side, and rear passenger side. Someone might have spilt a drink, or left the windows down while it was waiting for auction. I will post some more pics tomorrow. It is a great looking vehicle. The carfax shows a minor rear end accident. I searched the rear frame, and nothing is bent/off. It does have two Nitto Terra grapplers on the rear, and two different tires on the front. My estimation is it has been sitting for possibly a year or so???

Again thanks for your replies.

That is what I was afraid of. I am in Clarksville, and there are a few off road shops like Motofix that I might tryout. Sadly nothing dedicated to the LR's.

Ed’s British 4x4 is a reputable shop here. There is another one that slips my mind. I’ll look for it and post here.

Water ingress where you describe is somewhat common. Definitely check the tcm module. Also do what you can to dry out the passenger side water can stand in the rocker and play hell with electrical stuff as the main harness is in there.

Sunroof drains or windshield cowl leaks or a pillar trim can cause the water

Once you get the GAP tool find the live value for the transmission output shaft and see if it is spinning when the transmission is engaged

I checked the transfer case module. Cleaned it up, and the engine light came off!

The transmission does still not engage

BUT I got some new messages on my display.


Got to refill my coolant

I can go through all the gears and the display still reads them. When I put it back in P I hear a “slight grind” noise. Still no engagement through any gear.

here is how low it sits.

Here is the fuse box. I think I’m missing some?
