Right, so I've got myself a 1996 Discovery. I parked in the drive for the night, but the next morning it would not start. Electrical gadgets were all working, so I knew it was not the battery. I started checking fuses, and found the 15 amp alarm system fuse was blackened. Replaced it, and also the 10 amp alarm system fuse for good measure. Fired right up.

Every time I try to start the thing, one or the other of the two fuses will blow. I guess I could keep a stockpile of 10 & 15 amp fuses (who needs room for passengers?!) in the thing, but seems like something must be really wrong. Am I looking at a bad alarm ECU, or could it be just the relay? Anyone else ever have this problem?
