Passenger Fuse Box Replacement
Hi, I have just replaced the passenger fuse box in my Discovery 3. I was trying to fix a suspected blown FET. However, after swapping out the unit the key FOB fails and engine will not start. Pressing the FOB buttons has no response. When turning the ignition I can hear the relay engaging but not the starter.
Is there an immobilizer I should be aware of? I have checked the ECU for errors and it was empty.
I am a bit stumped as I haven't made any other changes. Just a replacement fuse box..
Any advice would be very welcome..
Thanks, Phil

UPDATE
I have swapped back the original fuse box and it has returned back to full operation. I see two potential reasons for this:
* The replacement fuse box had a different ID on the CAN-BUS and failed to register.
* There is a fault with it.
Would love some feedback, experiences etc...
