2004 Disco. 97K miles.
Started with a fast blinking left signal light. Pull to the side and noticed the left rear signal light is not on. Tab the cover a few times and its working again. Didn't last very long and the fast blinking came back on. Went and got two pairs new bulbs including the two side brake light bulbs per spec. Replaced them all with new bulbs and thought that should be it.
Next morning, noticed I have no brake lights when looked at the widow reflections in rear while in reverse, not even the one in the top center which I didn't touch all these time. Checked all lights are working including revers lights but just no brake lights at all.
Went online research and read the forums, check the brake switch and fuse #25 (15A) under the steering wheel are all seems fine. I even remove the brake switch off the arm of the brake paddle, disconnected wire from the switch and put it back on, test the plunger and all seems to be in good condition!
Question: No problem shifting gears when the engine is on. Can't shift out of Park when the engine is off. How can I tell if the brake switch is the problem?
This rig is not my daily driver. Battery is about 5 years old and I do have a cheap brand "battery float charger" when parked. Could that be a problem? I have no issues starting up the rig at all.
Look forward to your responses. :frown
