FIXED!! Need Rover Classic Electrical Troubleshooting help

#1 Post by ryancr500 » Thu Feb 06, 2020 8:35 am

I have a 1993 Range Rover Classic. I recently turned on rear wipers and they stopped working.... at the same time, the fan stopped working, Rear Defrost Stopped and mirrors. All fuses are intact and have power! I've checked the fused links by battery and cleaned grounds in engine bay and by rear tailgate,
Anyone have an idea what would cause so many items to malfunction??

There are a lot of ground points, and if memory serves, one under the carpet in the passenger foot well that can cause a lot of haywire problems. Best to find them all and clean them up.

Found the problem. There was a hidden fuse block under the passenger seat. It was located under a black cover panel and had 5-6 fuses. I had never noticed it before and wasn't specified in my troubleshooting manual...which only went up to the year 1991. I guess the 1993 model was slightly different.
I'll check that ground anyway under the passenger side carpet. Thanks for the tip
