Hi everyone,
Is there a chart or diagram out there detailing earth points?
Apologies if this has been dealt with before - I did a search but couldn't come up with anything.
2004 Defender 110 td5 XS.
I have an electrical fault which I feel must be an earth issue. Heater blower does not work;- If I link the earth return on the switch to ground the blower comes on, and reading the earth connector at that point to ground I get 35ohms - that would be a bulb somewhere I guess? Wipers do not work. When lights are off the temp gauge backlight comes on with the radio!! All seems to point to Header-Earth 0550(K108). But where is it?
I have the main manual and also the Defender 2002MY electrical circuit diagrams, but can find no reference to particular earth point locations.
Many thanks.
 
Just found the diagram I used.

So, I have located the root of the problem... seems to be a "header" behind the instrument console with lots of black wires coming out of it. If I apply pressure to the wires, the blower and wipers start and if I wiggle it, they stop. Must be a dodgy connection within the header. Trouble is I can't seem to get it apart. Is there a special magic tool for this or is it brute force and ignorance. I've already ripped half my thumbnail off trying!
Thanks.
