I noticed today that my delayed lights are more deleyed than they should be.
Is there a relay or something that controls the amount of time the laights should stay on?
-
ahhh delayed lights :mrgreen:
dont have that problem with my 'bus' :lol: :lol: teehee
-
Yes there is a relay for that feature.
My 'Bus' has one
-
I can see myself tinkering all day saturday!
-
I've got a relay in my 'Bus' too.. :D
Maybe it's time to upgrade to a Discovery.. :lol: :lol:
-
No relay for it in my bus!
I wish there was.

There is a unit and I think it's on the back of the steering colum, but a handbook for your car would be a good idea because they changed the layout of relays quite often. The delay does seem longer on ours now the nights are drawing in but I'm not sure it's anything to do with fancy electrics. As long as it goes out almost instantly when the ignition is on I'd leave well alone.

I ripped apart the interior yesterday and round the relay, took it off, squirted a bit of wd40 over it, replaced it, Job Jobbed :P
I also discovered one hell of a mess in the wiring loom. It seems every wire has been cut and re-joined?
Not liking the look of that :cry:
-
This mess of joined up wires, where is it?
I ask because the wiring loom is fitted in several peices and has some fairly crappy multiplugs to join the sections. When all gets wet they start to turn a lovely green colour and things like your tail lights stop working. I have had to remove the plugs in the loom at the bottom of both windscreen pillars because of this and replace them with bullet connectors, if this is what someone has already done to your car they may have done you a favour.

there bloody everywhere! mainly by the steering coloumn. I think some are for an alarm thats fitted?
Somehow while i was playing around i got the map reading lights working too..... BONUS!!
