| Disco 3 - Convince the ECU it is in Park |
|
Automatic ECU set fitted to manual Disco 3 due to lost keys.
Won't start because it thinks it's not in park.
Is there a simple way to convince the car it is in park?
It has not got an automatic shifter as the vehicle is a manual.

The first easy way is to bridge the large starter motor relay pins (marked SM) (with ign on) and see if it will start.
Do you have a gap iid ?
CLUEs IN here as to what the 2 relay coil wires do

This worked.
Wire from the ignition switch to relay being fitted.
Our tow-horse is alive again!
Thank you

well make sure you still have a relay, as it will damage the switch otherwise
