    2014-2016 Traxide Dual Battery Kit Lessons Learned

    Installed the aux battery and reinstalled the battery box. I sourced the black cable on top of the bracket from autozone. It ultimately feeds the PSDB as batt2 : I then ran the cable along the A/C line to below the headlight: In this picture, I connected the original fusible link to the...

    2014-2016 Traxide Dual Battery Kit Lessons Learned

    Finally wrapped this up. As already stated, I mounted the PSDB in front of the passenger side airbox. I recycled the original start stop, cross-engine wiring and modified as necessary. The red lead is from my aux battery. The blue, shrink-wrapped lead I created by cutting the original wire...

    LR4 steering fluid leak

    Start at the reservoir. It is attached to the driver side air intake. Just slide it out of its brackets and check the hoses beneath for residue, leakage, etc.

    Is it safe to drill holes in the seat pedestal?

    The only thing under there should be your front prop shaft. Maybe a wayward harness or two. May I ask why you don't just mount it to the plastic finisher on the seat itself?

    2014-2016 Traxide Dual Battery Kit Lessons Learned

    I was able to dedicate about and hour today (it is Christmas Eve afterall). Because I did not provide a good picture the first time, here is the wire with the two spade terminals that goes into the smaller, two-wire connector (not to best, as the garage door was closed to conserve heat): I...

    2014-2016 Traxide Dual Battery Kit Lessons Learned

    You got that right lol. It's definitely been fun. So, I hooked the power supply distribution box back up, but only attached the aux battery to batt1. With this set up, I only had a code complaining about the second battery (nothing hooked up to that stud), and the heated steering wheel...

    Transmission issue when cold?

    I found these. The pdf link may help best, but I cannot upload the pdf here. https://landroverforums.com/forum/lr3-28/transmission-rebuild-87764/

    lr4 fan 1 problem

    Not sure if that would cause the code, but LRs are finicky. Go ahead and fill it, but also make sure that you bleed the system.

    2013 LR4 5.0L Cold start knocking noise

    Behr would work just fine and is $360 on fcpeuro. Lifetime warranty. You are correct. They are referring to the crossover pipe

    It was working before I started this fun-- use it to defog the morning see as well. I scrubbed the diagrams. I think you're right though. It's something with the LIN as it enters the gateway module. According to the gap tool, "gateway a" and the bus signal are failing. I just took the...

    2014-2016 Traxide Dual Battery Kit Lessons Learned

    The heated steering wheel is still INOP... not sure about the windscreen, as it is not cold enough to test visually; and I honestly do not feel like pulling the a-pillars to check voltage at the connectors. The heated seats work. At least the driver's does. Not sure about the rear window...

    2011 LR4 Lower Control Arm Replacement/Front Shock Compression issue

    Definitely need to deflate the strut. I ended up ditching the Jack and pressing it into place by hand--Definitely impossible without deflating. Barring access to the gap tool, @DaytonaRS7 suggestion is the best.

    2014-2016 Traxide Dual Battery Kit Lessons Learned

    I bet you're 100% right. Not sure if it would be worth the effort to replicate the signal just to turn the light off. There don't seem to be any I'll effects. Other than the heated steering wheel and windshield--not sure if either work after the latest work I did...pouring over the wiring...

    What did you do with your Lr4 Today?

    Not at all. The front right does eventually adjust itself about 1/2 inch lower than the front left.

    What did you do with your Lr4 Today?

    I smoke tested the intake and vacuum lines for giggles (no leaks) and tested my latest hack of the ECO system. I also checked the values of my ride height sensors and this is what I have: Front right seems to need-a-replacing. Also, obviously the screen shot doesn't capture it, but the rear...

    Ok. Smoke test did not show any leaks. So, at least that is good news. I cleared all the codes from running it without the MAF sensors and started it up. ECO light is still on, but truck runs great. We'll see what happens after a couple of drive cycles.

    Reflashing IPC ECU with GAP IIDTool ?

    I am tracking this. While updates may be available, you still have to pay for the updates.

    LR4 Parts Source's (SCV6)

    It really depends on what you are looking for. OEM parts, I start with FCP euro (lifetime warranty). If they do not carry it, I use Land Rover Parts Counter. Their prices are slightly more expensive that Land Rover Parts Merriam, but I have rapport with the parts guy. Lucky 8 is where I get...

    lr4 fan 1 problem

    Perfect. Find the electrical connector attached to the fan. Trace that connector's wires to make sure that none of the wires are grounding out. Additionally, pull the connector and inspect the pins on the connector and fan harness for corrosion. If all of that checks out. You may just need...

    It is very complicated. Needlessly so. The Australians are lucky they didn't get that "luxury feature". They also got the diesel versions... I guess north American gas is cheaper though... I actually have an Aussie buddy or two and they are so much smarter than me lol.

    2014-2016 Traxide Dual Battery Kit Lessons Learned

    Finally got around to rigging the power supply distribution box back up to the truck for testing. I used my second battery to replicate the original start/stop battery and grounded terminal 1 to a body grounding point. I had the air filters and MAF sensors off already (smoke testing tonight...
