Just to update the thread, ive got this fixed, it was an earth fault inside the BCM. Had to wait for a new BCM from range rover as they were on back order, but glad to say its back on the road. The 2012 doesnt have a LCM the lights are control by the BCM which is located within the back of the...

Says it locks its self to the first car you use it on so cant be used on any other car, not really something i would want it to do as also got other cars that id want to use it on. Gonna take the car to a local diagnostic guy i know see what he comes up with.

Yer looking like im gonna be buying a new one mine wont read much on this year of them, whats the best one for a 2012 tdv8? Done some more digging around in the car found it is 100% not the cluster i swapped from 1 side to the other and proved the cluster so its def within the wiring or lcm. I...

Not the thing i wanted to see ;-)

Not found any signs of water ingress yet, its lived its life in a garage so i would hope water ingress wont be the issue. Also should have said that nothing came up on the dash it was only my missus saw it as i pulled off the drive

Yer i dont know either, its a JLR rather than BMW LR but i dont know when the cross over was or if they used the same electrical parts

I also assume that theyre not fused on each side, found F6 controlled the brake lights as offside and top light work fine until pulling F6, The nearside did come back on at one point when i had hazards, fogs, side lights all on at the same time, but stopped working again and hasnt come back on since

5 pins Ground (black common to both side although the connect is inverted from side to side), side light, brake light, fog light, indicator. Dont think its a switched neutral system as when u check the voltage at the plug on the side light circuit im getting 14volts on the pins in the plug

Yer its an led cluster

Afternoon all, got myself a l322 2012 tvd8 couple of weeks ago and the nearside brake light has stopped working, took the cluster out and it appears to be a sealed unit on these rather than the old unit where you could replace the bulbs in them, i stuck a 12v supply across the pins 1 at a time...

All fixed, drove the car up n down the road and air suspension cycled as it should, just got to put the whole thing back together now. Thanks for all the help.

Check everything works on it, take some overalls and get right under it to check the underside for any leaks. Check every bush you can see, cycle the air suspension a few times if its slow walk away. Check for damp carpets & bad smells, Sounds stupid but i always look at the tyres 4 (on any car...

Can only be that, although the air suspension wont go up now. No fault codes and i can hear the pump going on it. I know what ill be doing today.

Ive no idea how but its come back to life, i was pulling fuses to see what circuit controlled the brake lights and was going to go from there, pulled 9 and 17 which turned the brake lights off and the car came back to live with a bunch of fault codes which clear by going lock to lock on the...

Yer ive got 1 on a laptop somewhere but i need a starting point. I recon its a short somewhere possibly in the purple plug so just cleaning that out in the hope its that, i cant find anything else thats got wet anywhere and the car wad fine when i parked it up yesterday evening
