    2001 Td5 110 Defender Horn & dipped beam won't work.

    Hello Mystery, 20 amp fuse under seat still blowing even when horn is disconnected from the wiring on the horn. Does that narrow it down? Just found a 10 amp fuse blown in the fuses box behind the gear stick. Numbered 27 on the diagram..think its alarm/immobiliser but alarm/immobiliser still...

    Hey Mystery, Thanks ever so much for your input. I'll do my best to answer your questions. 1, Fuse box located under driver's seat & has 7 (twin blade) fuses & 6 screwed down box fuses. Yes its the third one in the column (yellow 20 amp). 2, Just checked..the fuse doesn't blow when you dip the...

    Thanks guys...so far still working on it. It's the 20 amp fuse under the seat that keeps blowing as soon as horn is pressed. still no joy having swapped the relays round & replace said 20 amp fuse to test horn & flasher. ...am thinking of getting a skateboard & growing my hair long :-/

    Dear Gents, Can I pick your brains please... sorting out my MOT & have got a couple of issues that I think are connected. Horn won't beep & keeps blowing its 20amp fuse when I tried it & dipped beam (left indicator stork) stays fully illuminated when pushed forward like its supposed to but I...

    Hello Mr Brown, I'm really grateful to you for such a comprehensive to do list. As I previously said in some of the replies in my original post. I did not disconnect the battery to change the offside brake pipe (which I would normally have done)... then like a fool I disconnected some of the...

    Dear smithy, You are right my friend.. the kids give me a sing song instead ;) regards the red rectangular connector..yes given it a clean but will do as you suggest disconnecting & allowing it to stand upside down overnight. What is the switch you are pointing to? (inertia switch?) No chaffing...

    All reconnected yes. multiple wires dressed in a outer casing run along the chassis together with the very long brake pipe. Sorry if my terminology is wrong John. Cheers

    Hello again Mr Stuart (sorry didn't realise i was addressing you by your surname earlier - my sincere apologies) Red connector near the fuses. No inertia button by the dash (at least that I can see) ..and yes I did disconnect the wires while the battery was connected - that appears to be the...

    Today was supposed to be a simple job...replace the offside brake pipe (long) but the wiring loom/cable was in the way so I disconnected from under the bonnet & fed it back the other way toward the Diff which gave me some space to work the new pipe into place. The bald patch on top of my head is...

    I suppose the question is after reconnecting the connectors of the wiring loom (Engine end) under the radiator plastic filler tank is the vehicle supposed to start? or am I missing 'first' doing something?
