I am experiencing some weird **** with my electrics and hope some one can help.
firstly i changed the battery in my fob and now the alarm wont sound can still lock and unlock on fob and indicators flash but no alarm..
but now some other strange stuff,,some times the speedo stops working ,,then starts again,the air blower stops ,then starts again,, the little red light in between the clocks wont work then will,, the radio controls on the dash some time will turn the volume up when i press the down button,or will just change the station ,,,
could this be a bad earth ??? or is it some standard landrover thing that i will have to live with ???
Any help or advice would be greatly welcomed.
 
I'm not an boffin but an electrical engineer, so could be a bad earth connection, the dash earth points are behind both footwell kick panels.

With the remote radio controls, as they work on resistance this issue is common with the switches not doing what they are supposed to do, you can try cleaning the switch connections.
I gave up using the dash controls many years ago, and now I have a replacement unit that's not compatible so don't use them at all, I don't find it difficult to reach the headunit.

Thanks discool will look at the earth points and give them a good clean,,,any ideas on the key fob and why the alarm wont sound ?
 
Nope, it's a crystal ball time
There is an alarm function test posted some where in the Forum so you'll have to search, I've never used it, all I do is sit in the vehicle and lock the doors with the fob wait 10-15 seconds and pull up the drivers door pin so unlocking all doors or shake my keys at the movement sensor, both setting of the alarm.
If you can lock/unlock the doors and remobilise the engine it proves the fob is ok.

The alarm sounder is fused IIRC and without looking at the fuse list.
 
The alarm function test is also detailed in the D1s Rave workshop manual, that's on the www and also in the Forum.
