Afternoon all,
My LR3 (2006 HSE) with roughly 38000 miles seems to have a strange problem with Sport Mode and Command Shift. When I first drive the car each day it will work regardless of any settings (lights, etc... - I know this is odd to say, but it will become clear in a moment).
On subsequent start ups it will at random do the following. Sport Mode or Command Shift will not engage. It will not note "Sport" in the message center, and should I attempt to shift up or down utilizing Command Shift... Nothing happens.
Here is where it gets strange. WHENEVER this happens, if I turn on the headlights, and engage Sport mode it works. And so long as the lights remain on I can use Command Shift. If I then turn off the lights while in Sport Mode or utilizing Command Shift the transmission will go back to its normal setting and "Sport" will disappear from the Message Center.
Any ideas? And yes it took some experimentation to figure this out! Very strange...
Thanks for reading!
