On getting out of LandRover TD5 and leaving side &/0r headlights on the audable warning does not work
Not sure what year this is but it may be the audio box that make the noise or the switch in the cylinder lock itself,
When the key is removed it release a lever that makes a connection and if lights are on it sounds the box but if this lever is worn then no noise, try to wiggle key and see is it works,
Hi thanks for comment, tried wiggling key No luck. Any idea where box is located ?
If you can tell me the year ,make ,model and i will tell you where the box is located, or just look under the dash and follow the chime, most of the time it is a plug in chime box but other times it is screwed to a brace on the dash framing with same concept except on this one you would remove the connector.
Hi Johnny, thanks for your comment, the vehicle is a Landrover Discovery series 2 TD5 XS first Reg. Dec. 1999 when you say follow the chime, there is no sound at all.

The ground circuit for the driver side door switch is compromised, or the door switch is bad. Try this: Remove the black rubber cover from the door swich. Using a 10 millimeter wrench or socket, loosen & tighten the switch retention bolt. See if the dome light flickers. If so, the ground on the switch is bad, & just needs cleaned up. If not, remove the switch, and touch the wire behind the switch to the body,or the bolt hole. If the dome light lights, you need a door switch. Your problem is entirely in the door switch/ground/wiring. Hope this helps, and thanks for choosing FixYa.

Sounds like possibly the ignition switch is going out. Try jiggling the key in the ignition in the on position and see if your lights come back on.

Sounds like a faulty Diff Lock switch to me.
Most of the D2 models
till late 03 model year use a version of firmware on the SLABS ECU that
when diff-lock is detected puts the ABS and Traction Control systems
into a lower response mode. Late model vehicles came with factory fit
diff-lock linkages as a option, and the firmware was revised to allow
this to operate in conjunction with the traction control.
Therefore
ABS and TC illuminating (but with no HDC) means your TC/ABS is in the
lower performing mode, and your diff-lock may be in, but more likely the
£12 switch has broken, and needs replacing. It's a bugger of a job, and
can be done from underneath the vehicle (did mine this way) the switch
is p/no PRC2911, and just unscrews. It's located just behind the
diff-lock stud above where the front prop fits.
Your options are
thus:
1) Remove the front prop. Work blind and try and change it by
feel alone. Helps if you can clean the area off before too, don't want
any rubbish falling in the box! Unplug & Undo the switch, IIRC it's a
12mm head, and a stubby spanner is the tool for the job. Remove, swap
the lower nut from the old switch to the new one (important for the
length) and put back in. Don't do up too tight, or it may shear off (as
my friend did 2 days after I did mine! He kept tightening it...) Pop the
connections on and the front prop and the fault should go away. You
could also just disconnect the switch if you want. IIRC open circuit is
no-diff lock anyway, but if that's not correct then make up a link with
some spade connectors and link it out then.
2) Remove the centre
console, drill the rivets and attack from above. Same tools needed, just
you can see what you're doing.
I favoured Option 1. YMMV!
Your whirring noise and loss of power may indicate the diff-lock is engaging occasionally and may indicate damage to the transfer box.

Hi:
The most likely cause of the ABS light coming on is a faulty wheel speed sensor. Your vehicle will still drive normally, but your ABS light means you don't have Anti Lock Brakes functioning. An easy way to figure out what is going on is to have an auto parts store download the codes on your vehicle, and they can tell you what tripped the ABS light, and you can go from there.
