It is OK, I'll forgive you this once. But don't let it happen again. Or I'll set The Moo onto you. And she is a ferocious killer.

So I can only assume sometime in the past when this ol bus was a farm wagon the loom got damaged. Looks like there was damp underthere are one point because rust, which is probably what fried the repair. I think I know what the source of liquid is (drivers door is bent) so I got some thicc door...

Could've sold this when I still lived in Hounslow. So inconsiderate.

Wooooooo! [Edit: Could tell she has been sitting a while. So much black death when she caught. Smoked out the neighbourhood.]

Good news! I got the EKA entered and the engine will crank. Bad news! The battery didn't like all of the ****ing around I have been doing with the electrics on and off for the last month so it is now dead. Lesson learned, back on charge and hopefully I can get her fired up soon. Probably just in...

So this was the state of the joints in this repair. I put in a few patches which appears to have worked, but I had to wait 30mins for Key Code Lockout, so I'll try starting it in the morning. Not 100% happy with my patch though, so I've ordered a soldering iron to do it properly. Crimps just...

It appears I am not the first to make a repair in here. That is not original gauge wire.

Not gonna lie, that is exactly what I look like to the neighbours.

Yellow with red appears to be part of the window circuit. But between the window motor and the door outstation. If there is no continuity across it then you just need to splice in a repair across it.

Pins on my bypass loom were too fat. Boooo! Going to plunder the greenie store tomorrow and get some of their expense. Soon this mess will be gone. Soooooon!

Did a little more investigation on the loom. Think we've found the culprit. Making a bypass loom to test the theory. But pins 9 and 19 do not have continuity between BeCM and A post. I must've confused what I tested previously. Glad I started mapping out the diagram. Hopefully my sanity...

I thought it'd be something important. I figured best test would be to make a temp bypass loom for them (one at a time, then a combination of), to see if it solves the problem. At least then I could either isolate a fault, or rule out everything loombased from the door to the BeCM. I am hoping...

Following on, the pinout I am using suggests that these 3 pins are important pins. But it doesn't say what they do. Pretty sure I tested them for continuity, but as they are output only I can't imagine they'd help with the whole door open, etc issue. Unless they are input and output? Wish there...

I feel like I should've started a new thread to log this absolute ballache of a fault finding. Unplugged the BBUS and tested the theory that the boot is unlocked as long as the drivers door is. I was right, so the earth is good. I can't remember everything I checked the last few days, but I know...

I have one of those scars too. Mine is from getting knocked off my bike as a kid and the handlebars ripping open my bowl. Stings like a bastard when you get sunburn on it. Hopefully the followup treatment knocks the cancer out the park.

I got a letter from Land Rover in 2018 for a recall that happened in the early 00s. Sure they'll write to you, but not necessarily quickly. You can check outstanding recalls on the DVLA website.

Similar to my issues then. The yellow wires were all speaker related. Purple going into the door (purple/blue and purple/black) are power to outstation and power to windows. I forgot to test it, but I think if the drivers door is unlocked the boot will be unlocked too, even if the central...

They also had proper Range Rovers.

I check continuity across the door ajar switch, key switch, and just locking the door. All weree fine. Which is consistent with all of the looms being fine. The outstation I switched between passenger door so I know that is good. All of this also fails to explain why the window doesn't go up and...

As I understand it, 12v direct will fry the latch. So it makes testing it tricky.
