All of a sudden three issues have happened simultaneously !?


I replaced the foot steps yesterday as they needed to be changed, so raised the car to get some clearance underneath, the car raised perfectly no issues. I also changed the front indicators as they were cracked, this was all I have done.


I drove the car to the shop that day, no issue and all worked fine. Today though the parking sensors had a long beep and not working and the gear shift lights P, R, N, D do not illuminate at the gear shift, but they do indicate on the dashboard. If I leave the key in the ignition, it does not give the warning chime, however it does show on the dashboard that key is in ignition. When I lock the car, the red parking light does not come on for 16mins like it used to. Lastly the 'Air Suspension Inactive' shows on the dash with no functionality with the controls.

I have disconnected the battery, tried to clear the Air suspension Inactive by turning steering wheel all the way to right then left, but it stays on.

Any ideas? what puzzles me is that the three things have happened at once, so maybe related? I have checked all the fuse and look okay.

Thanks

Drove for about 30 mins each way no affect.
checked voltage sitting at 12.4VDV and 13.7V from alternator with engine on, so looks healthy enough.

Some would say it could be better, but also what's it like after standing overnight. I get over 14v from my alternator. Do you have history of the battery or is there a date sticker on it?
Get it tested properly, its normal that the L322 will throw all sorts of random hissy fits cos of a weak battery. Or dodgy corroded cables. If you decide to change fit a bigger capacity than recommended by LR but make sure it fits in the hole cos its tight:)

Your issues dont seem related, (except by electrickery) and not by the work you have done, soooo;).
Have you got diagnostics, if not and its a keeper then now would be a good time to consider it (well actually 6mths ago would have been better;))

12,4v on the battery normally means its goosed you should be looking at nearer 12.6v min half hour after full charge,
with 12.4v as you try and start the motor the voltage will drop down probably to about 11. something which will cause all sorts of ecu`s to throw up a fault

First rule of fault finding is start with a known good 100% a1 ok battery
sort the battery then see what gives
 
You could try the battery hard reset thing, battery off, touch pos and neg car battery cables together for a few seconds, reconnect battery do the wheel twirly thing that can often cure a multitude of things.
 
Hmmmm. Not sure I agree with 12.4 v being a dud battery, as the battery is only 1 month old and has always given this reading.

I have managed to resolve through, process of illumination. I was sure if was an electrical or canbus issue so checked all areas that I disturbed for any thing obvious. One point was that the internal lights including trunk lid were not on? I focused on the overhead light panel as this kept falling down. Disconnected + side battery for 5 mins but nothing. Then read that you need to disconnect both + and - so did this for 10 mins and voila, all issues went away. I had removed the internal dome light as it kept falling down and needed fixing. But when I plugged in the issues returned!

I noticed a slight short on the PCB on the overhead light so sorted it, plugged it in and no issues!

Plugged in my diagnostic, cleared faults and all working good now, fingers crossed!.
 
Hi there, I know this an old post. But I'm having the same issues with range rover, do you know how you fixed the dome lights? Many thanks.
