Reng Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Not mine but a question regarding the replacement of the Fuse box on the drivers side under the dash. The vehicle is a 03 TD5 with AC, SLS and ACE. The old fuse box was damaged due to water ingress from the windshield. The fuse box was repalced with a used one from a 04 Disco and has the same part number. After the replacement the vehicle is working but cannot be un/locked with the Key Remote amd can only be un/locked with the key itself. Any ideas anyone.

teabag Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 If everything is ok when using the key, then poss a duff battery in the remote part of the key, may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reng Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Could be but both keys are a problem and they both worked befor the fuse box changed??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally V8 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 The TD5 Disco uses an IDM in the back of the fusebox,(Intelligent Driver Module) which pairs with the Body control unit.Not changed one for a few years but I think you will end up needing a new one so it can learn the BCU,from memory you switch the ignition on for about 5 mins after fitting it to do its learning.

Reng Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Thanks - That will probably explain the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I've never tried fitting a second hand one but Ally is right about the learning bit ^^^ it doesn't "just work" as soon as you plug it in. Water ingress into the fuse box is a common problem and sometimes causes all sorts of damage - the thing is prone to holding the central locking circuit engaged and blowing most of the solenoids in the door locks for one thing, which means new door locks all round ££££ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
