Aragorn Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 No dash lights at all indicates a power issue surely? The immobiliser doesnt cut power to the dash etc, so even if it was an immo issue they dash would still light up like normal. Check the earths and battery condition.

western Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 IIRC theres a fuse box in the engine bay on Td5's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smo Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Fuse boxes are in the centre in front of the gearstick below dash, and under the drivers seat with the ECU, battery is under the passenger side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 so why does the LR RAVE manuals for the Defender Td5 electrical section show this engine bay fuse box ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smo Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 No idea Ralph but i can assure you that fuse box is under the drivers seat with the ECU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 No idea Ralph but i can assure you that fuse box is under the drivers seat with the ECU. got it sussed now, it's only called the engine compartment fuse box but actually lives under the drivers seat, what a dumb idea.

QTdarren Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 check the main power conection on the under seat fuse box , as for what ever reason they have a habit of coming loose, ive done a few of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkrentfitter Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 thanks for the reply,s.the vehicle lights work,but no dash lights,battery power is good,does not have a feed to the ignition,does that feed come from the ecu once immobiliser is disarmed?

western Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 refer to the 2 atachments above, I think it will answer your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yella 90 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 you have a direct feed coming up from the main fuse box which in turn powers up your ignition,dash lights and bulkhead fuse box, which then after the ecu fuse ( located on bulkhead fuses ) powers the ecu up are you getting a fuel pump ?? have you checked the main relay situated under the drivers seat ? if its immobalised you will have dash lights but it wont crank, or some will crank but not fire dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
