My Land Rover 95 disco has head light issues Sign In

Year of vehicle 95
Make of vehicle Land Rover
Model of vehicle Discovery 1
Engine size 3.9? I think
137,000

I might make a video if you guys like. Upload it to youtube.

When my lights are on park light, the dash lights up and the park lights are on.
When I switch it up to normal lights on, the front lights come on, the rear do not. And the dash and parking lights stop working.
When I switch them to bright, all of the lights go off.

I am wondering if it is a switch issue. The part is 75 dollars. I made a mistake buying a Land Rover, but its done made. PLEASE help me figure this out.

Thanks my friend. Do you suppose it might help if I made a video?

Showed you what was going on? To be honest, I don't know if its the fuses. I can't tell because I can't even find the fuse box. The haynes repair book is out of print, and the Land Rover forums are filled with soccer moms, and rich snobs who just send it off. I don't have cash to waist, I work for a living.

I think I might as well try the switch... or sell the thing for parts.

I really don't know what's the most likely. Guess I'd be testing for power with a test light at the wiring at the switch to try to make sure. I really can't see how blown fuses could do just what you describe but worth checking them all out anyway. Do that with the test light or an volt/ohm meter not just by looking at them. For the record - I haven't known real fuses to be intermittent much - either good or bad and no in between. There are breakers that can reset but that's not what's really demonstrated here or they'd be blinking on and off - I would think??

Again I thank you for your help. I noticed a popping sound, around the radio area. Is it possible to have a loose hot wife? Maybe just floating inside or around my Dash? I don't even have the thing insured yet. I hate to go out side and find it melted...

The SUV really is nice, if you discount the electrical insanity, and the popping cd player.

I really need to find someone who can fix this, and not cost me an arm and a leg.

WIFE! If she's loose and floating around in or around your dash then you're on your ownWink

Seriously - If you hear something unusual then try to find that. It could be ground or hot wire causing issues,
