JLR specialists

Recommended Posts

Hi there guys was just wondering if any JLR specialists could help me with this one 

we’ve got a car come into us that’s been written off due to lads taking it on a protected beach and getting stuck in the sand and then causing water damage :rolleyes: 

now the car has no ignition so I was wondering is there a way to connect a Doip to pathfinder and forcing ignition on or allow fault code reading. 
We’ve brought a new bcm and now we just need to program it in somehow with no ignition

I think this should one be posted on the Magic Circle forum;)

 

....JLR's current wiring make 60's Lucas Prince of Darkness look top notch, without the addition of a dose of saltwater.

Best of luck with though

Firstly, you must have balls the size or Mars to get a JLR product with a serious electrical fault! :D

Secondly, what year/model is the car? I'm not too familiar with the latest stuff but I know the earlier stuff should still bring up your ignition without coding in the new BCM, it just wont crank.

Hahahah to be honest I’ve had one previously stolen recovered and brought a cat B, took everything out of the cat B and put it in the straight one- no cat Bs available right now lol 

it’s a 2017 5.0 supercharged 

Any clue what module if any would stop power to the car?

promise you will post the end of all this what actually happened as the unsuspecting punter of the supercharged Range Rover was driving away his car not  knowing the  full story of what you have had to do to make it run

Ahh, that’s keyless isn’t it?

Out of my comfort zone, it’s the ones with a key that I know still fire up ignition.

One point I may raise though, I’m not sure how it is with JLR products, but some manufacturers these days have a built in system that literally bricks the ECUs when involved in an accident, so that could be the case with this one. That being said I’m not a specialist so please don’t take it as gospel!!
