QuestionLand ROVER DISCOVERY 1996
Problem: The transmission lever is stuck in park and won't budge (engine running, brake pedal pressue and emegency brake engaged). When the side lever on the hanle is pressed you can hear a relay click behind the glove compartment. I took off the door to the glove compartment to expose the yellow relays. the one on the far ringht clicks when the transmission lever button is engaqged. I also took off the cover to the lever handle but nothing seems to be out of order.
Background: The other nagging problems I've had with this vehicle over the past five years I've had it are braking issues ...always seems like the brakes are loosing fluid pressure although the mechanics say that the breaks are normal. I have the problem that many seem to have with the ABS break light. The vehicle also has lock and alarm problems as well.
AnswerYou can energise the interlock solenoid, by you give a positive (+12V) lead to the RED and a negative (ground) to the black line at the transmission selector's connector.
If it works you should check the positive signal at the red.
It should be there if the ignition is on, brake pedal depressed, and the transfer box is in some gear, and the fuse 1 isn't blown.
At the black cable should be a ground signal if the selector in 'P' position.
If you give me an e-mail address I'll send the wiring.
The ABS problem, you have better to check followings.
- All the wheels bearings' play.
- are the ABS sensors at the deepst position? Knock some to that head (not strong) and they shouldn't move deeper.
