Ring with micro switch

scav06 · May 20, 2012

Hi everybody, Im writing from Chile because, among several things that Im repairing on my 300Tdi 1996 Disco, I found a small ring with a micro switch and I have not been able to find where and how it should be installed. I have checked the manuals I have several times, also I have checked your forum prior to ask but without any good result. The ring and micro switch was found hanging inside the drivers door and the only information I found is that the micro switch works with the immobilizer/alarm by a cam on the doors lock.
I enclosed a picture of the ring and I would thank you very much if somebody could help with some information, hopefully the part number or picture/drawing about how it should be installed (by the way I must tell you the Disco does not respond to the EKA code and I suppose is because of the ring-micro switch is not properly installed).
Thanks again,

On the lock barrel at a guess

I didn't think Tdi 300's used an EKA code - I thought that came in with the later model Disco TD5?

Micro switches for alarm at a guess unless others know better

Your correct it should be fitted to the rear of the lock barrel in the drivers door and is operated by a plastic cam on the barrel. Used for setting the alarm and entering the emergency access code otherwise called EKA.
There should be two switches piggy-backed as one unit.

So presumably when the micro switch is pressed it would disarm the alarm and imobiliser?

Nope, on a 300 series disarming the alarm is done when unlocking with the fob and remobilising the engine is again with the fob but when positioned by the ignition-switch.

gutted, wishful thinking on my behalf

It will set the alarm

and the immobiliser is passive so sets its self every time... if you lucky.

Sorry for the delay but I was out of the town, thanks for the help I will check the drivers door's lock barrel and see what happens.
Thanks again!
