    Brake Controller Wiring

    On a '99 D2 which wire on the brake pedal switch do you tap into for the trailer brake-- this goes to the blue wire on the trailer light connector. It would be the wire that gets power for the brake lights when the pedal is depressed. Thx.

    Vibration and occasional squeak: U joints??

    I put the truck up on ramps and inspected the u joints up close with transmission in park and in neutral, brake on and then off. I thought I might have felt the slightest amount of play in the front joint on the front shaft. Everything else felt very solid. I couldn?t see any signs of rust...

    Vibration and occasional squeak: U joints??

    With about 88k miles I?ve developed a mild vibration between 30 and 40 mph. It?s worse under hard acceleration and going up hill, and stops completely if you let off the gas. Just today I started to hear what I can best describe as a scraping sound or a squeak when taking off from a standing...

    ABS Shuttle Valve Repair

    Congratulations! Nothing wrong with having a mechanic do the work. It?s has to be a whole lot cheaper than say $2000 plus for new ABS modulator, which many professionals have wanted to do to solve the problem. My fix cost $1.19 for the plug (I already had some solder and shrink tube) and took...

    Ah.... sweet success. Congrats. Unless you've had the three amigos plaguing you, you really can't appreciate how nice it is to be rid of them and have the damn ABS fixed. Hail the King...

    ABS Shuttle Valve Repair

    Thanks for your comments -contrary and divergent points of view always help sharpen the focus in a discussion. Before I decided to try this fix I was careful to make sure I completely understood how it worked, especially since it does deal with key safety equipment ? braking. After some...

    ABS Shuttle Valve Repair

    Hmm?. a couple more questions: Did you use the ABS amigo to clear the codes after the repair? (I hope this isn?t a dumb question.) If not and it is logged as a ?hard? fault, then the amigos will appear until it?s cleared. The metal holder of the steering fluid reservoir is painted, as I...

    ABS Shuttle Valve Repair

    Did you pull the fault codes from the SLABS computer? If so- what were they? If not --you need to do so and make sure this is the correct repair for you. This fix is for "Shuttle Valve Electrical Failure." It won't work for say a bad wheel sensor or other fault in the ABS system. Also, did...

    Brake Bleeding Sequence for DII

    I found some previous discussion about this, but no definitive answer- What is the correct sequence to bleed the brakes on a DII. My factory workshop manual says start with passenger front, then driver front, passenger rear, driver rear. That doesn?t make much sense to me if you should...

    Electrical system failure

    Couple of questions: is the problem intermittent or constant? How/where did you check the alternator? Is the battery flat after an episode of lights dimming and engine dying? One thought- have you checked all the cable and ground connections, not just those going to the alternator?

    ABS Shuttle Valve Repair

    Thanks to everyone who replied to this post, it gave me the extra confidence to go ahead with the repair, which I did today. I took the shortest route and removed the shuttle valves by just unfastening the ABS module and raising it up as high as I could. I found I could get it up higher than...

    ABS Shuttle Valve Repair

    To deal with the three amigos on my '99 DII, I'm about to attempt the repair in this write-up to "rewire" the ABS shuttle valves, and wondered if anyone has tried it here, and if so, how it worked out? http://www.landroverclubvi.com/abs-mod.html I pulled the SLABS fault code(s) and the only...

    Traction Control/ABS/HDC Warning lights on 04 Disco II

    Relax and just learn to say "buenos dias amigos" when they come on (unless it's after lunch then say "buenos tardes") ... and remember to pump instead of mash.

    Trailer towing electrical plug

    I saw that Atlantic British has a new kit. Looks cheaper and better than factory, which had some recalls for quality. I used a generic box and located the correct plug pins with a multi-meter. Has worked fine for years for a standard flat plug.
