Have checked threads and can't find a match - so here goes.
1999 Discovery Td5 - Yesterday I removed starter motor and replaced contacts in starter solenoid. This went relatively well apart from trying to replace the top nut on the motor which is still in the kitchen!
When I re-connected the battery and gave it a whirl it started and I felt great joy - short lived as when I went to lock the car all I got was the dash light flashing for 10 second but no doors locking. Tried this a few times but always the same.
Could I have disturbed some wiring somewhere or a relay/fuse blown? It worked fine before and I have had the battery disconnected about three times in the last month with no problem.
Thought I would ask before starting to trash the thing today.
Any pointers most welcome.
