Emergency, at side of road now!

Just flashed high beams and all lights have gone on disco including interior. All fuses intact, any ideas? Too dark to drive without lights. Cheers

Stalk knackered give it a jiggle see if they come back on.

Stalk? Radios cut out aswel. Is there any other fuses apart from fuse panel under steering wheel?

Haven't Discos got a fuse box under the bonnet with a few heavy amperage fuses in it?

I've not got a wiring diagram for a Disco...

But even so I dont think it'll be a problem with a fuse. Sounds more like a short circuit than an open one.

Is it a 200 or 300?
300's gorra fuse box. 200's got fusible links .

think its a 200 that he has not sure

Yea it's a 200. I'm thinking dodgy relay. Fella before me made a right hash of wiring. All dead then it will come back to life until I turn headlights on which kills everythin.

Anybody heard of multi functional relay on the 200 discos?

Does anybody know where this multifunctional relay is that runs head lights, interior lights and radio?

Passenger side footwell under the kick panel at front....... I think, as haven't had a 200 for a year or so.....

Loosing multiple circuits as u have done points to a common problem with the fuseable links failing, they on a 200 series disco are buried within the fabric of the wiring loom near the battery. On a 300 series the fuseable links have been moved into a box along with some additional fuses.

As for a "multi functional relay" there's nothing listed under that discription in my wiring diagrams

there is no multifunctional relay. Oops - wot he sed ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The thing that puzzles me is that there really isn't any loom near the battery on mine, just 4 wires that go to the drivers side headlamp...?

usually they have a thicker section just before the bulkhead. that is where the fusble links are.

as for the OP, i have posted the wiring diagrams on here somewhere.

I can't find anything either. I've been told that there is a multifunctional relay that various things run off. There's no sepèrate relay for headlights, interior lights, etc they all run through this one relay. And the way it's playing up that would sound about right. Just don't have Haynes on me and don't know where it is.

it will be a main fuse under the bonnet i had this happen to me
