So I own a 1994 300tdi she has been a dream for the last year with no problems and now in the last couple of days I have been having some strange things happen.

Symptoms
- rear DLRs not working and when the do the flicker on and off

- break lights work intermittently

- blower does not stay on the same speed . I will turn it to high it will stay there for 3 seconds and the drop down to low

I am not sure if these things are connected at all but they have all started happening around the same time . I have the wipac LED lights on .

Any suggestions would be appreciated

This^^^ LEDs are very sensitive fluctuations and require good cabling and connections. On mine I have added an extra eart so in the rear corner all of the earths go to the earth screw which has been replaced with a bolt and then on the underside of the bolt I have an additional cable running form that bolt direct to the chassis where the rear tub bolts to the crossmember. This allows a direct to chassis earth for all of the rear lights.

Where are the earths for the rear day time runners ?

They will be on a screw through the body work behind the rear light covers. I don’t know if you have trim panels but would Need to remove those to access the light cover. then remove the light cover.

This will expose the back of the lights and and the wiring loom. There will be a ring connector on a couple of black wires attached to a screw through the bottom of the tub.

Is there such a thing as a rear DLR? Certainly not on a 1994 Land Rover... do you just mean the rear lights?

that was my assumption, it is just the tail lights.

I was thinking he meant side lights.
Although it's irrelevant, either way they don't work.
