Wondered if anyone could help diagnose an L322 electrical issue...
All was well with my RR L322 3.6 TDV8, but then last weekend it started fine but I realised there was electrical issues, as the indicators weren't working at all - or hazards either. Anyway, was in a rush so switched cars and left it - when I came home few hours later the hazards were doing a slow flash (even tho it was sitting on driveway, unlocked, no key in). (!)
I disconnected the battery then, but when I went to start it next day it wouldn't start. So trickle charged the battery and did an ECU reset (i.e. touched negative to positive whilst disconnect from battery). Battery is now fully charged, and when first reconnected electrics all seem ok - ignition comes on, radio, blowers etc.....BUT, when you go to start it the entire car shuts down, without even turning-over. It's almost like it trips the entire thing electronically. After that, once you turn key off it won't even turn ignition back on again...nothing. If I disconnect then reconnect battery again then same thiing - ignition only is fine, but won't turnover and trips-out again when I try.
I have checked some of the fuses (can't actually find starter-motor specific fuse!?), but any ideas what the issue could be - or how I can fix it??
All help much appreciated! Cheers.
