    Someone obviously been fooling with the wires, the correct position is where the wires flow from the compressor, under frame and up through the lid inside the vehicle to the center console. Great find. Good job

    I think the biggest problem these vehicles have (we have the Discovery 3 HSE from '05) is that when you don't use them for a few days they are still using power from the battery while they are sat. While you can disconnect the battery while not in use it's not ideal as you need to reset stuff. And if you use it reasonably regular but don't go far you never really charge the battery properly.
    Best fix I've found is a simple trickle-charge solar panel designed to plug into the OBD port, you just need to remember to unplug it before you switch on. With the battery fully charged we get a lot less electrical gremlins in the car, without some means of trickle charging when not used much they're more trouble than they're worth.
    If you're doing long runs on a regular basis you should have a lot less trouble, they seem to like motorways/highways in spite of having all the aerodynamic charm of a breezeblock. 😁

    • @AnthonyIlstonJones
      @AnthonyIlstonJones Před 2 lety +1

      That lid your wires got trapped under? Could you not just take a Dremel and make a groove for the wires to sit in? Simple fix I know, but it would save it happening again...

      Then put the year of your Rover and then scroll down to manual hit enter then look for air suspension then you can read the fault code to see what it is... once you see what caused it you can clear the code and lights should come back on... let me know how it goes

      @@ThomasStudios17 Had to drive mine home on the bump stops. I found in mine that the relay on my 06 Land Rover Range Rover SC was the fault. I took the plastic cap off the relay located in the rear cargo area behind the passenger side cover on the right side of the fuse panel about mid way up, plugged it back in and fired the engine up, closed the door, and ran around to the back and watched the relay activate for a second. Nothing happened though, so I pushed on the relay actuator and wiggled it and the compressor fired up. Yeah,, Compressor good, relay bad. Waiting on new one in a couple hours.

      Michelle Abke if there is no fault codes for the height I would check your height sensor bracket. Its what your sensor is attached to in the front it will be attached to the frame some times they get bent and one side will be lower then the other side.

  • @scottola2497
    @scottola2497 Před 2 lety +1

    Based on experience if the L322 is coming down and raising up properly.. .. it could be due to 5 main issues.. .
    1. Height leveling sensor on the front and back
    2. Air suspension compressor pump
    3. Air suspension compressor relay or valve
    4. One of 4 {or all} suspension bag leakages
    5. Air suspenson tank leakages
    Note : If a new Air suspension compressor or suspension is replaced... the SUV might still need a calibration by a designated Range Rover mechanic shop !!
    Therefore .... sometimes it makes sense why many just decide to remove the Air suspension altogether and replace them with the regular suspensions !!!

      Miki Do weird usually it will raise to a default setting. Once you get the icarsoft see what the fault code is then reset the suspension fault it could be just a glitch. Remember once you reset the system you got to turn the steering wheel left to right or is it right to left either way turn the steering wheel all the way to the right all the way to the left. Plus when you see what the fault code is just look it up online and see what happened.
