Wiring schematic

#1 Post by donno » Sat Feb 07, 2015 5:24 pm

Are there any docs showing the wiring harness in the range rover classic (1991)? I've got the rave manual but don't see anything in there. What I'm looking for is how the harness is laid out. There is a conduit of wiring that has fallen on the muffler just below the drivers side taillight that has burned a bit with a couple of wires broken. Would like to know where these wires go/connect to.

Also my third brake light is not working. When a connect a voltmeter, it starts out showing about 11 volts then over a short time it slowly drops to about 5 volts. Bulb is good, battery is good, other two brake lights work fine. There are a couple of cracks in the insulation of these wires, not sure if that would induce a resistance... Maybe is part of the wiring above?

Thanks in advance...

As for my third brake light. I've done some digging in the headliner and there seems to be a 'device' spliced into the wiring of the brake and hatch lock wiring. Anyone know what this might be? Can I remove it and still have it work properly? It was wrapped up in electrical tape.

The RRC Haynes manual has some fairly good wiring schematics.

At the back hatch, as well as the third brake light you also have rear heated screen, hatch lock actuator, rear screen wiper.

Just realized the image did not show up properly. Lets try that again. I removed this from the wiring harness connecting the third brake light and locking mechanism. Third brake light works now where it didn't before. Should I be worried?

Thanks
