Hi Rick ,interesting, do you know why, by pulling the cables out of the chasey fixed your problem . Was there a bare part of a wire that was no longer touching stoped the short , or could it have been something else kind regards jimr1 ...Quote:

Don.
Yes, but it will become difficult after a metre or so. I run conduit over my whole loom but fitted it with the loom out of the LR. If you ft the split stuff, run a few raps of electrical tape over the section where you are sliding the conduit on as the shard edges can damage the cable. (I found anyway).Quote:

Also, you can't slid it over the end as there are splits and joins that wont fit through the conduit.
I noticed on my 2012 130 Defender the loom runs in split tube on the outside of the frame. My old 97 is inside the frame and thats where it shorted.
Im dont know if the designers are solving a problem of shorting inside the frame or opting for a cheaper easier build?
