Problem with 95 Discovery

[joey]

Ok, unhooking the switch means that it will not get power to release, you would have to remove the switch...

Also check to make sure you have brake lights... you may have a bad brake light switch causing all these issues.

Hi Joey

I just went out and checked my brake lights and yes I have lights. Is the switch on the right side of the shifter? It was the only one I seen. Could my shifter cable in adjusted if so how would I do it? I am not used to working on this vehicle.

Thank You
Walter

It is the Locking Switch that is causing your fun, you can either replace it or remove it.

Pro's and Con's of removing

Pro's:

you can remove key again
you can shift the vehicle

Con's:

you can shift the vehicle when the engine is not running or the key is not in

Replacing switch (I am very frugal) why it just costs money and if you own a Rover your smart enough to know to put it in part before removing key.

Hi Joey

I went out this morning and found the right locking switch. Yesterday I unhooked the wrong switch. All I did was unhooked the locking switch and now my key comes out great. I am think about just putting in a new fuel pump.

Thank You very much.

Joey

Will my battery go dead with the switch unhooked?

Thank You
