Been trying to get heater plugs to power up, with no joy as part of a Re-comissioning of Defender 90 2.5 TD , having enough probs with Fuel supplies (injection pump) , but the heater plugs not working seems to just be the tip of iceburg... So I stripped the dash and instrument out to see whats happening - nighmare some previous owner has sprinkled scots connectors
, bypasses
, and twisted connections liberally around the systems complete with self amalgamating tape, and domestic two core wire
. The igintion heater wiring has been bypassed from the Ignition key via a dodgy push button direct to the Battery which was shorting:mad2: (no wonder it didnt work) . The radio hook up looks like my two yr old grandson could have knitted it a lot better I also found a heavy gauge white wire 10" long with bullet one end and a large spade the other unconnected at either end. Any guesses where it should be hooked up ? the white connector to the ignition switch looks occupied ...???
Ah well looks like the soldering iron , and shrink connectors are going to have to come out - planning on using the ones i use on the boat which shrink and also fill up with a hot glue mix that seem to be really good at sea- anyone with any experience in the muddy world of Landys ?
