Answer
Hi Patti,

I think your '94 Disco should have the same setup as my '95 Disco.  I think your Disco just needs to be reset and reprogrammed for your key fobs.  It the following procedure does not work, you'll have to visit your local LR dealer for help OR learn to lock and unlock ONLY the driver's side door before any other door is opened.

TWO KEY FOB PROGRAMMING:

Must be completed within 8 seconds from start. A two-person job and have remote key fobs available.

Open hood and have volunteer hold hood alarm switch down.

Inside Disco, with all doors closed, make sure ignition switch is off and all door lock buttons up.

Turn ignition switch on (setting II) then off.

Assistant now releases the hood switch.

Turn the ignition switch (position II) on then off.

IF DONE RIGHT, HORN WILL SOUND ONCE AND DASH LED WILL LIGHT UP. This indicates the "Learn Mode" portion of the security system is activated. IF THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN, START ALL OVER AGAIN.

IF in the "Learn Mode", push and hold the first remote button on the key fob. The dash LED should flash 8 cycles a second for one second - indicates code accepted. IF NO FLASHING - START OVER.

With the 2nd key fob, push and hold the button until the flash is seen. AGAIN, if no flash is seen, start over. IF you have only one key fob, press the button for a second time. THIS SEQUENCE requires two key fobs.

Once performed, the system should be armed and ready.

IF at any time you turn the ignition on, it will cancel the whole process.

Best of luck,
