Weird, indicators and central looking don't work, flashing D

[It'sNotWorthComplaining!]

do know if its rain water related as we had huge down pours, this arvo went to unlock D2 and not response from the indicator lights, doors were unlocked. I put the key in ignition and got 6 bells, Disco started, but the D for drive indicator on dash flashes, the D has a diagonal line dissecting it from top to bottom and a small line from side ( pic is a little blurry).
Indicators did not work whilst driving, changing to other gears only displayed the flashing D.
Stopping car, cannot use fob to lock doors,
Any one experience this before?

Just found out that the rear wipers and fog light switches on the instrument binnacle also don't work. It must be a common fuse circuit for all these to go.
Still to wet to check out all fuses.

I am pretty sure I have had exactly the same symptoms. Check your park bulbs, either in the head lights or in the corner of the indicator lenses, and indicator bulbs. In my case it was one of these that had blown.

Just saw your second post, and it reminded me, I had indicators that only worked depending on whether the headlights were on or off, then a variety of other functions stopping.

cheers

I know that some things like brake light bulbs would stop dash lights working, with mine the indicators don't work with lights on or off.
tommorrow i will check fuses first then get onto the bulbs.
Hawkeye test of indictors gave left working even though not flashing inside or outside, it didn't give a working reading on right indicator

I did a bit off googling Hastykiwi and found an old post of yours which led to this, which is basically the symptoms I have as per list.,
Land Rover V8 Discovery Faults (http://www.seylec.com/id56.html)
so might be another possibility to look at.

Yes those are the symptoms. In my case it was one of the indicator park bulbs having gone. Rather than just blown, it was prob shorting which would give the alarm the yips. In the case of your article it was moisture causing the same. Def worth a look.

Have a look at the passenger compartment fuse box. It seems that it's not uncommon to get water running into the back of it resulting in mayhem. The conjunction of rain and faults points in that direction.

There's a fuse box in a passenger compartment??

passenger compartment means inside the vehicle where passengers of the vehicle are. Ie Drivers side under steering panel.
engine compartment means out side in the engine bay;)

PS don't look behind the glove box or behind the kick panels in the passenger compartment, holy moses! look at all those relays and wires

Yep considering it was working fine yesterday, and today problems after the heavy down pours of last night , if might be on the money.

Thanks, feel a bit silly for asking it. I was worried there was a 3rd fuse box I didn't know about on the passenger side of the car, phew. I will know for next time :p

RAVE isn't particularly consistent. It refers to engine compartment / under bonnet fuse box, and passenger compartment / main fuse box.

The owners manual uses engine compartment fuse box and main fuse box respectively.

It's just a bit easier to use known terminology than or describe the location :)

Dont know the ratio, but think left hand drive, and manuals made for both versions. Then the fuse box is in the passenger compartment.

Depending on which rave you have. some have the NAS North American version. Then there is the Rest of world Rave that has a section for Australian spec

UPDATE : another miserable raining day, with no cover to work under. I pressed the phlip and lo and behold the central locking worked.:o
put the key in ignition and got the 6 bells. A quick check with hawkeye in programming found the setting for seat belt warning chime was activated. IO changed that to no warning sound. I checked all exterior lighting, all was ok ,except the in headlight park light on the near side was fainter than the off side one. Demister button light, rear window washer buttons worked.
as if nothing was amiss Go Figure?:confused:
When the rain eases over the next few days, I will pull the fuse box out and check for corrosion.
There was no wet patch of carpet in the driver's footwell, I felt as best as I could the wiring behind the fuse panel and could feel and wetness.
