Hi! I am new to this forum, the forum I used to read is having problems...
Anyway, I have a 2000 Disco II that I love and miss. I appreciate any help you can give.
Here is what has happened so far:
Noticed last weekend that the brake lights were all out. It was running fine, just didn't want to get a ticket (or have some yahoo run up my butt). :eek3:
Husband replaced the brake light switch, lights work, tried to start it to go - nothing. Cleaned the battery cables, tried activating/deativating with remote per instructions on this site, took battery in for testing and it's good. Lights and radio work, engine won''t turn over, just a click.
Not sure that the brake light switch had anything to do with it but you never know. ?????
Posted on other forum. It was suggested that I had a dead battery or that I needed to reset the inertia switch.
Results:
I reset the inertia switch, unfortunately, nothing. Also, double checked with my dad about the battery and he said that when they took it in this morning the parts store did a load test (good) and checked the voltage (10.5 out of 12, not sure what that means?).
I'm getting desperate. I really don?t want to have her towed to the other side of the state to the dealer and I won?t take her to the local ?expert? after he tried to rip me off and then lectured me for 10 minutes when I wouldn?t let him complete the work. Sometimes is sux being a girl...
Thanks in advance!
