Hi guys, My 96 Disco has just let me set! I have no I idea what to do... Here's what happend: I was driving down the road when I heard a buzzing, clicking, popping noise under the passenger side dash. When I looked down, I noticed that my a/c light was flickering on and off, and the rear a/c fan was switching on and off, weird... I then tried to roll down my window, and it rolled down some and then stopped. Then it somehow got power again and rolled all the way down. I stopped, turned off the vehicle, looked around for a while, (no smoke, no smell) So I jumped back in cranked it up and drove to my brothers house. I turned it off there, and when I tried to crank it up again.... nothing! The more I messed around the more things looked worse. My dash lights aren't even coming on when I turn the key! Whats the deal? I cleaned the battery terminals. My radio still works and the door open chime works. A relay under the driver side still clicks when I try to start it. I heard somewhere that there are some fusible links under the hood in the wiring harness that fail sometimes, is that right? and where are they? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Gabriel

Sounds sort of like a bad ground. When I had grounding issues on the negative terminal strap -- as well as a loose negative terminal -- this happened. The popping and cracking are the relays working their magic.

Check grounds...
