TonyElDoueihy Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Hello Everyone, I bought a Discovery II 2004 1 month ago, It all started when my car door lock stopped working. I fixed it and when they were installing it back into the door, it seems they got my car super locked. I did not have an FOB Key. I contacted the Dealership and they gave me my code to be 15 5 5 7. Meanwhile getting the EKA Code the electrician working on the car seems to have really messed up. I went to put the EKA Code after getting it after 2 days, I put it and I heard 2 beeps, was so happy that it worked. Turned my car on it worked except all auxiliaries: wipers, dashboard daylight stays on, clock, radio. But I could’ve driven it. Next day when I called the electrician to fix these for me, suddenly after trying to remove and put back fuse boxes at passenger compartment and engine compartment the Discovery stopped turning on. I can hear the sound but seems no fuel or fuel pump not working, and flashers turn on and I cannot turn it on anymore. They told me there is something wrong with my BCU and I need to get a PCM & BCU set with an FOB Key from a working car. I got them both, we installed them and the same problem was back again. Flashers stay on. Note: I bypassed the Inertia Switch at the Engine Compartment, checked all fuses. Can it be any wrong swiped relay? Please I need ur help guys urgenly!

bear Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hi Tony, Firstly, I would edit your post and delete the EKA code for security reasons. Put your location in your profile and there may be someone local to you with diagnostics. Have a search on this site http://www.thed2boysclub.co.uk/index.php It's free to join and is purely for the D2. Sorry I can't help any further as my suggestion would have been to check the inertia switch, which you've already done. Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyElDoueihy Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 UPDATE: It was the Green and White connectors under the Engine Fuse Box for the Inertia Switch. Fixed it. Everything worked now the Engine turns on except one problem: ALL My Auxiliaries are acting weird, panel lights stay on does not turn off, cigarette lighter not working, radio dim light working but radio does not turn on. Clock also acting weird when i turn on my daylight on the clock turns on, when all lights off, the panel light for the clock is on but clock does not show. I am really really lost.

miggit Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 That sounds like a broken earth issue to me.... Land Rover is famous for inventing the floating earth!! Probably the easiest way to check is with a multimeter between the cigarette lighter case and a known earth, might also be worth checking the body earth at the same time, cos I doubt they have improved it from the RRC, and that can cause problems.

TonyElDoueihy Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hello ! I really appreciate your fast response & help. I have tried to replace my fuse boxes both engine and passenger with ones from a working D2 and still get the same problem. When i turn on the ignition all lights show on the dashboard but then all turn off and the same problems are consistent: -Radio Not Working -Wipers Not Working -Cigarette Not Working -Clock Back-light always on but numbers Turns on when you Turn on DayLight. -Dashboard Panel Lights always on even when you turn off and remove the keys and lock. Cannot turn them off except when removing battery.. I guess it is an earthing problem. Is there any way to easily test this step by step ?

Bowie69 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Sounds like an ignition switch problem to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miggit Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) Sounds like it needs to see a Testbook! But with not knowing where on earth the poor sole is, it's rather hard to suggest somewhere! Unfortunately the D2 was at the beginning of LR's ECU everything phase... which they are still trying to get right! The P38, Which is the same era, suffers with ECU gremlins, and there are only a handful of places that really know how to fix them... And quite often a good Indy knows more than a dealer... especially when we are talking 'old' technology. If you're not careful you can end up spending a small fortune changing bits that aren't broken until you get lucky, a good indy should be able to sort at a fraction of the cost of a normal garage... which to be honest don't have a bloody clue when it comes to Land Rover faults! I had a similar thing with my Mercedes Ml, last year, went to 2 'Mercedes garages' spent £500 and it still didn't work, took it to a specialist some distance from me, and he fixed it in under an hour... it was the air filter... if they get blocked the Merc computer throws up all sorts of faults... the indy put his thumb on the problem straight away!
