Replacement headlight switch
 
My lovely new acquisition has a severe electrical drain, emptying a new 80Ah battery within four days. Investigation required. My initial culprit is the headlight switch which remains continually illuminated. I understand that it has back-up information within and needs to match that of the IPK. If I fit a replacement can a t4 session make it compatible with the correct information?

I can supply you with a good used LSM coded to your car VIN mileage etc.

When the LSM remains lit, it prevents the BCU going to sleep ;)

Drop me a PM if you wish to know more

Happy new year Brian. The info on this post, does the same apply to all the Rover 75 range?. I would imagine it does, but not to good on Electrickry problems.

Received, fitted and working. Thank you Brian, p.m. sent.

Replacement, coded LSM seems to be doing the business. Car started first turn yesterday morning after standing idle for a week. I feel tempted to go for another trip today.

Excellent, I love it when a plan comes together :)

Go and get the car rumbling ;)

David. Did you get the help you wanted on this ???---:shrug:

oldie 15th January 2017 18:25

Certainly did.

It seems so. Marinabrian supplied a coded replacement LSM. There is an identically named thread concurrent with this which has a little more information. I inadvertently hit the send button twice when posting my plea.
