Do you have access to a scan tool/fault computer? You might have a BCU fault
Hi,
I just noticed that the LHS signature light on my D4 is not working i.e. only the RHS signature light is on with the light switch in park setting. AFAIK these are LED.
I've checked the fuse (F24 lower glovebox) and disconnected and re-connected the electrical plug to the headlight assembly. The other lamps in the LHS assembly work i.e. the headlight (HID) and turn signal are fine.
Yes, this is a relatively trivial issue, but since the D4 is new to me this week I'm watching for any issues that might be covered by the (used) dealer warranty.
Any other ideas of things to check? I guess I should remove the headlight and try to test the sig lamp somehow... I didn't think that LEDs could 'blow'?
Thanks. The Land Rover experience has begun!

Not being funny, but it's not because you've left the indicator on? I don't know if its relevant for the disco, but in some euro cars that's used to put lights on one side when parked - a legal visibility requirement, that would show as just this?
What is a signature light ?

LED’s can fail. They’re an electronic component and can fail, but shouldn’t.

Thanks for the replies.
Yes I have a Gap IIDTool I'm yet to transfer from the previous owner - I'll check for BCU codes when I get it going this weekend.
Edit: No relevant codes. Two minor stored 'U' codes from when the vehicle had 59km on the clock! Cleared them.
Here's a pic of the one-eyed signature lamp lit.

I like the one on the passenger side.
Silly Question
But do you know for sure it was working.
I had a 2016 D4 and noticed one day when i was opening front gate that Signature DRL was not working.
Car was 6 months old when i noticed it
Used to got to work in the dark and come home in the dark - so headlights masked it.
Turned out to be a pinched wire during assembly.
Cheers

Thanks chuck. Not a silly question. I've had the car less than a week - bought from a dealer. The headlights come on when transmission is in P or R or S regardless of the headlight switch position. Hence I did not notice the dead signature light, just as you didn't, while the headlights are on. The signature light is on alone when the car door is opened, which is when I noticed the dead one.
Where was the pinched wire?

Memory fails me and i don't want to guess and lead you up the garden path.
I do remember it took the dealer quite some time to find it.
