2000 disco2 elec problems

[MohawkDan]

I just Bought a 2000 disco 2 v8i w/ no mods and it came with a couple of problems.

1) rear windows will not roll down regardless of switch pushed
2) rear sunroof only opens with the front switch not the rear
3) passenger front lock only works manually all others fine
4) Cruise control doesn't work
5) brake light flashes at random

I checked the fuses in the cab and under the hood; they were fine. This is my first LR, and I love it except for the little nuisances. I would really appreciate any help you guys could offer.

(1) Window lift ECU?

(2) Is the center button pushed, locking the rear control?

 

[MohawkDan]

Where is the window lift ecu? and no it's not. I have a technical background, but I've never worked on lr's before, so please feel free to break in down kiddie-style.

Window lift ECU is located behind the glovebox. Let me see if I can find the link to the repair. I have a Disco I, so see this as a starting-point and not a definite solution. Sometimes there are bad solder points on the ECU and it prevents the rear windows from going up or down.

RE: The lock, the actuator may be shot. Does it sound like it's locking/unlocking and the lock "tab" just doesn't move, or is that door silent when the others are locked?

To anyone else: Is the cruise on a DII vacuum-powered like on the D1? If so, you'll need to check the vacuum lines (black rubber hoses on driver's side) and make sure all connections are not cracked or unhooked.

Thanks brother, I'll start there and tell you what happens.

 

[MohawkDan]

no sound from the lock

 

[Moose]

My bet is that the lock actuator for that door is shot. Someone from the "day shift" will see this and have some input on the rest.

Rear window, check the ECU as Moose noted

Sunroof, if the lockout switch has been check to make sure it is in the correct possition, then you may just have a bad switch in the rear.

Passenger front lock, I would check to make sure (remove door panel) that the wires have not gotten broke when someone tried to use a slim jim, otherwise I would say a bad acuator

Cruise is Vacuum controlled. Check all vacuum hoses under the hood, and also check to make sure the light is on, (i.e. the switch with the table on it) just bellow the heater controls. Remember the top switch on steering wheel is for setting, the bottom switch shuts it off or resumes.

Brake light flashes at random, I would check brake fluid level, and also make sure the parking brake is adjusted. Big drum under the driver seat area, has a 15 or 16 mm nut, adjust clock wise until you can pull the handle and it sets the brake at 3 clicks.

Also wouldn't hurt to flush the brake fluid to ensure it isn't some contamination.
