That only presses on mine. Dimmer switch is on top of left stalk

Yep exactly the same with mine. Which to be honest is the first bit I checked because, as many will know, that is where it is located on many other makes of vehicles. That's when I hit RAVE and it said on the left stalk, as you say.

Everything else on that stalk works as it should. Is it possible the dimmer switch itself has died? I̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶n̶ ̶p̶o̶s̶s̶i̶b̶l̶e̶ It's a Range Rover, anything is possible.

Have you checked the multiplug is plugged in properly?
My dash went off once soon after i had it out.. got the dash back out again and all was well, never investigated further

Yep did that today as well. If I had hair I'd be pulling it out.

Have you checked the bulbs haven't blown?

Or the fuse

MacMan6107 · Jul 22, 2021

Checked all bulbs, as in removed every one of them and put 12v to them and all worked. All fuses are good as are all relays.

Do you mean the button for resetting the odometer? If so, that doesn't turn at all. There is nothing else there. I don't recall it ever having done so in the 3 years I have owned the car and this issue has only started in the last month. I reset the odometer every time I refill with LPG, which is pretty much every week.

Oops, I was talking L322 not P38

'ere we go ... Sorry peasant but it is a long while since I had to fix something so prehistoric.

Nuffin, nothin', nothing. She is sitting plugged into the mains on a trickle charge, waiting for a replacement lock.
For those who don't live with a hyper-vigilant L322, she is on the trickle charge to stop her constant security checks finding the unlocked door, and draining the battery

Good point, is there enough coal in the boiler

Scotiawhiskers · Jul 22, 2021

Is there an accessible (yes I know it is a P38) multiplug for the column stalks? If so disconnect and multimeter across the right pins should allow you to test continuity / action of the dimmer switch?

If that checks out OK, logic says that getting the pins out of the connector block and temporarily bridging them together should give you full brightness if nothing else? Or check for voltage and narrow down which wiring section the problem is in?

Drove mine to work drive it back from work. Stopped to collect some dead animal parts on the way

I'll see what I can track down in RAVE for this.

It might just be worth buying a new stalk or try and borrow a known working spare off a fellow owner.

Ummmmm please Sir , can I be excused that description?

The Golden Girl still awaits her lock. So I went for a jaunt in alternative transport

Although I think it is related to Land Rover , as I had to fix it before using!
