    On the other 3 FL1s I have it's live 12v when ignition on, and 0v when off. But mine is showing 5v when off. When engine is stone cold. I would of thought if it was always on constant this would drain the battery prematurely eventually. Though a thermostat sensor would over rule that, if the...

    Update: Traced Brown to engine bay fuse box. (What is telling the brown to wire to remain live ?) Discovered fuse 2 & 4 kills the power. Traced Blue to ecu. Need to research fuse 2 further I think.

    Brown is producing too much voltage when ignition is off. The question is, where does the brown wire get voltage from initially.?

    Brown is 5v - engine turned off Blue is 0v Brown is 12v - engine turned on Blue is 0.18v Help

    Interior Cabin Lights - LED?

    Yes it is. Standard 3.6l with LPG. In fact it's actually been resprayed orange (nothing like doing the job properly. New roof. Completely rebuilt bolt for bolt. It going in for an mot this week. Project finished about a week ago. Purrs like a kitten. Runs like it's on rails. It's taken about...

    Continuity is good. However. When the connecting the ecu connector back on continuity is lost. If I had hair I would of pulled it all out by now.

    That's a lot easier said than done. But that'll be my next course I think. I've also heard that maybe the thermostat may have failed. But as you said, everything points to an ecu-fan controller. I'll have a look tomorrow.

    Reset the ecu... though I doubt the standard method (red lead on the positive, wait 10 mins) actually did diddly. However the plot thickens. The issue seems to stem from something electrical within the engine bay. When the ignition is turned off, there is something making a high pitched...

    Yep. I've search all the manuals and electrical wiring diagrams. That's what I came up with too. It does indeed point directly to an ecu issue/fault. I have a spare ecu from a donor Freelander, just need to work out how to get it working on mine. I believe it needs reprogramming some how...

    Thanks for the answer. I know from basic tests (with a crocodile clip a piece of wire and a handy bulb) that it would appear, that both the blue and white cable and the brown are producing negative. Being new and know little of electronics. If the ecu is receiving the incorrect signal, how...

    I think this has been covered, however I need assurance. series of events. LR1 perfect for a couple of weeks. Over night battery dead. Ordered new battery. Replaced. Cooling fans start running at full speed. Cooling fans "stop" as soon as ignition is turned on. Replaced temp sensor...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    I have 4 FL1's so I'm hoping to make at least 2 decent ones out of them (bought one today for £125 - non runner, battery had discharged below charging level - they used a smart charger- they couldn't replace battery due to the captive nut (holding the battery securing plate in place failing-...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    I've been fault finding... so far i've come up with zilch. I have a massive issue that is either going to kill my bank balance or cost me pennies.. But, my FL is almost new now..lol
