Thread: M and S lights, turns over but no start

I'm putting this here as it is connected. After a few struggles mine drove last night Beautiful, but brief. Stopped after about 500 metres, and is sulking. I also have the M&S. However, I DO have a nanocom. In the autobox section I get the P1842 and 1843 codes. clearing the codes puts the M&S out for maybe a second. I believe the XYZ is working. I did have a low battery yesterday, but it charged fine and started the car instantly... All I have done is replace the wiring to the CPS. And the car has run many times since then. Cranks fine, I hear the fuel pump. Sigh. I will check battery voltage, but it makes no sense that it started many times, I was runnng it for at least 20 minutes to burp the cooling system, and then it just stopped.

Next stop has to be the fusebox, I guess. The sunroof has been leaking a fair bit in all the rain we have had... Must remember to clear the drains...

Fusebox is not corroded like last time, but it is wet. Not hugely, but I cleaned the drains yesterday, so maybe it was wetter before it could dry. In any case, Drying is happening.

Dunno if you can pick it up from this. Wet under the lower relays as well. Of course, I don't know yet if this is the problem, but it's definitely A problem.

I'll check this on mine tomorrow, only noticed my leak because water was dripping out of the plastics near the fuses onto my legs.... so I assume i will have this too, the downside for me is I don't even get a sunroof and still get the leaks

Do you have roof rails?

I have uploaded some info on water ingress in the Files(New) section.

The fusebox is fairly easy, but a touch fiddly. It is secured by one nut at the top. It then lifts out of a socket at the bottom. As you pull it towards you you will be able to release the plugs as they present themselves. Don't worry, they are all different so you can't muddle them up. Once it is out you will need to release the clips around the perimeter. Not hard, but it likes to come apart evenly. Then, to actually release the PCB to get to the other side you simply remove all the fuses and relays. I took a pic so I don't have to check each fuse as I replace it. No need to remove the SRS fuse under the yellow protector

Put it back in reverse order. And cross your fingers.

Did I mention the swear jar you may need when you contemplate the designers who made the harnesses so short?

Put my fusebox back in, reconnected the batt and turned on the key... M&S flashing.. OK, clear the codes.

Looked around at the wiring and wondering if there was enough diesel in the tank to burn the thing, and I noticed an issue with the CPS wiring. No, not the wiring I fixed, it's fine, but not quite where I left it. I suppose it's been loose for a while...

What surprises me is that previously when I have had a CPS fault the MIL came on. Not this time. Learn something new every day, which is the purpose of owning a Land Rover...

Now, where is the spare?
