Newbie here. I have a Auto Disco 2 and when when i select reverse the fuse blows and i was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem. I also want to trace the wiring loom and i was hoping someone could point me in the right direction of the way it runs through the Disco. Cheers Alan.

First of all unplug the rear clusters one by one and see if the fuse still blows ...if these are ruled out we'll speak again

Do you have RAVE?... i can help you only if you have it cos you need the Electrical library - connector views, if you dont have download and install one from here: http://www.myrangerover.co.uk/rave-workshop-manual/ and confirm when you have it also tell the MY of your D2

Was some work done at the headlining above the windscreen or do you have a leak there? you still didnt say the year of your D2, it's important
It's on a 52 plate there was no work done at the headlining above the windscreen but i have just spoken to my mate who was using it and he just told me during that heavy rain some water come out by one of the seat belts. I will try and find out from him front or back , nearside or offside.

OK, anyway to isolate the area of the fault you'll have to go the C0102/0484, unpin the green/brown wire from pin 11 and see if then the fuse blows or not

Then the short is most probably around the XYZ switch somewhere, to reduce the area further go to C0681 pin 1 and unpin that

Next step is to unplug pin 2 on C0681
Before i started the next step of unplugging pin 2 on C0681 i put it in reverse to check the fault was still on and the fault had cleared. So i hope im right in thinking pin 2 on C0681 goes to the fuse box in the passenger compartment (P101) fuse 25. If the fault returns and on removing pin 2 on C0681 the fuse stays intact i assume it's looking towards the xyz switch.

Yes, pin 2 goes to the fusebox, i'd rather suspect the harness to the switch than the switch, it used to get chaffed when it passes above the transfer box, though the switch is not ruled out for that... here are the diagrams too if you can't access RAVE https://www.dropbox.com/s/gklrskq6hisj63x/Discovery 2 MY00 - Electrical Circuit Diagrams LHD (LRL0436ENX 2nd Ed).pdf?dl=0
