Thank you, for response not sure how to do this jump wire, do I need to take the relay apart?

No. Just join the two terminals together in the relay socket with a piece of wire cable. I don't have one spare.

Terminal numbers should be moulded or printed on the relay so you know which is which on the fuse box itself.

Thank you for the information, do you mean take the relay out then take it apart? Solder the contacts together?

No. Take the relay out and put it in your pocket. Identify terminals 30 and 87 in the fuse box where that relay plugged in and join those two terminals with a bit of wire cable. Just hold or wedge it in. If everything now works your relay is faulty because you've by passed the relay. Only a test, don't run around with just that wire in.

So the relay is faulty or the line that switches the relay on has a fault, the relay input can be checked with a meter.

I do have a meter, the relay smells like it’s burnt out, I will check the line as you say just in case

It's a special Mark, not interchangeable with any other relay in the box.

Get one from a breaker. It would cost too much for me to post one from here after Brexit.

Ok new relay fitted but still not fixed, the pump is not activating but when I use the jumper it’s working? Not sure what else I can try?

If jumping the switch contacts out makes it work then the voltage required to operate the relay is missing across its coil pins. Earth one side, switched volts on the other.
Have you used the electrical troubleshooting guide? Section S1 covers the EAS and all of the electrical connections. Either the ground is missing, the wiring has broken or your EAS ECU is toast.

Hi thank you for your response, the Range Rover was converted to springs before I bought it, breaks were working fine a week ago then nothing I have the red warning light for the breaks on and it flashes up abs fault, I’m not savvy enough to understand the electrical side unfortunately, and help in layman terms would be gratefully received as always
