Ok, so ever sence I have had my Disco I have had all sorts of differnt electrical problems. Dash lights not working then working, car alarm not working then working, Keyless entery working not working, etc... So the other day I got out and decided to TRY and trace the problem down and I have seemed to have solved the problem. I found about a quarter inch of Corrosion on the postive cable that runs from the battery to the main fuse box under the hood. This was causing a intermittent power drop from 12 volts to 11.25 volts every so often. So After triming the cable back and installing a new eyelet and reconnecting it to the battery all my problems have been solved or at least havnt happens sence and its been two weeks and I was having problems at least 2 times a day. Here is a picture of the effected cable. My digital camera is down so I had to barrow this picture from the ECR website to show the effected cable. I have listed the fuse box and the postive power cable I trimed. Hope this might help someone who has had electical problems. Later Nutter

No elec problem so far on my 98 LE; thanks for the info/post. In case I run into any elec probs, this will remind to check area first for corr.

How do you like the Optima? Is it worth 3 digit price tag?
