I just finished doing an engine swap on my '01 D2 from a 4.0 to a 4.6 - I took my time and spent the last two weekends making sure it was all done right. Anyone who has done an engine R&R on a Disco knows it's a good bit of work so finally this afternoon I was ready to turn the key and here's what happened:
First of all it didn't start but on top of that as soon as I turn the ignition on the emergency flashers begin blinking and the only way to stop them is to disconnect the battery. With battery reconnected and ignition off the emergency flasher switch works normal - ON then OFF.
Secondly, when I use the key fob to lock and unlock the doors the horn beeps every time.
Finally, all I did was swap the engine. I never messed with anything else.
This has me a bit baffled, it's almost as if the truck thinks it's been stolen.
I don't know if the two things - blinkers going off and engine not starting - are related, the only troubleshooting I was able to do so far was to pull the #2 plug and see that it was bone dry so no fuel getting to the cylinders.
Like I said: the kind of shit that only happens to me lol
