I’ve been diy for 48 years and as weird as it it may sound I’m impressed with the quality of the plastic fastening on my L322, I’ve opened up a heap of things to run wires and nothing has ever broken, unlike most other brands.

[@raymikado]

Wow! Sir, I think I just watched the best mechanical video on KZbin, very explainable, highly understandable, which makes me subscribe to you wonderful channel. Thank you

[@L663]

So nice of you

[@mattylf1]

Thanks for the video. Shows very clearly how to replace the switch. Got a new replacement for £10 on ebay and fitted in 5 mins with the help of this.

[@L663]

Glad it helped

A really useful video, I think you did very well to capture this on camera, it is hard enough just to get at these under dash places.

[@jonasl9659]

Yes ! This little lad can cause a lot of troubleshooting in your head if you don’t no where to start looking.

Very helpful video, what other link with this switch as 🛑 light. Thanks

You are the best

Is there a similar company for Toyota RAV4 owners? I have a 1997 auto and it once needed a rear number plate bulb.

[@robjames8080]

Anybody got a link to the metal clips or where I can buy them from? Thanks

[@hectorgutierrez1062]

Great video. I lost the metal clips when removing the panel. Does anyone know where I can find replacements?

[@harveymanfrantinsingin7373]

I see on the screen of the IID tool, it also read an ABS module code. Is that due to a faulty brake switch also?

[@chppii1075]

Would replacing this help if a Range Rover Evoque was having trouble with brake lights staying on after switching the car off?

[@L663]

It could well be worth a try !

[@Nw46784]

My top one works but tail light break lights don’t work. Still the switch maybe?

[@L663]

there maybe 2 sets of contacts in the switch - but not 100% sure

[@rizariic4702]

Hello, could you help me. I have the same errors on RRS 2006. Hand brake fault, special program off, dtc light sometimes engine system faut(limp mode) hdc fault, trasmission fault?

[@cliffharden4052]

Hi Chaps, my HDC is showing a fault, I have replaced both the battery and the brake light switch...I pop disco 3 into drive pull away and after 15 seconds of driving the front driver side brake enables like ABS and the system displays HDC fault...is it possibly a fuse or id there something else I should check?...thank you in advance for all advice.

[@L663]

Hi Cliff - sorry this has me stumped - have you made any progress ?

[@Slayer66642]

Have a blinking AFS warning light when driving. Any idea what that could be? Thanks very much D4 2010 (facelifted)

[@L663]

At a guess.... ABS sensor in one of the wheels / hubs

[@Slayer66642]

@@L663 OK thank you very much. Ill have a look into it

[@waynelaughton3812]

Hi Simon, do you know if this brake switch controls the rotary gear selector on Disco 4 (2015 model) i.e. if this fails, does this stop the gear selector from being able to be moved from P to R or D?

[@L663]

I am not 100% sure but I know i does cause a lot of havoc generally.

[@waynelaughton3812]

@@L663 I have an intermittent problem with rotary transmission selector getting stuck in P. General consensus is that it is the controller, but was trying to rule out the brake switch. However I suspect given that the switch needs to operate just to start the car, then the switch is probably working and not the problem. Looks like the more expensive problem - change the controller!

[@MikiTrani]

Hi, For OBD diagnostics which tool do you use and which mobile app did you use in the video?

[@simonjefferson]

I was using the IID tool and app from GAP diagnostics.

[@Dark_Starr2030]

Can’t for the life of me get this switch out of my Freelander 2 SD4 HSE, access is so restricted. Any ideas???

[@jjg3165]

What type of diagnostics are you using, Looking for one for my RRS

[@L663]

GAP Diagnostics IID tool - bluetooth version - search our other videos for "IID" and you will see some of the videos.

[@fester.]

im having a few faults with my discovery 4 i changed this and it seemed tix it,but now its back,using iid im getting C1B00-64 (E8) Steering angle sensor-algorithm failure,have you had this

[@L663]

Hi - sorry not had this issue ! - maybe someone else will post a comment

[@iggyhiggins9584]

Get your wheel alignment done, it should sort it

[@vijayrughani4138]

Hi , I just purchased a Range Rover Sport 2006 from an auction. It drives fine but when starting the car I get the following messages: System Fault Special Programs Not Available / Park Brake Fault / Transmission Range Change Not Available. Also I am unable to set the Hand Brake on and the warning flashes all the time. When I switch off the engine, the message Follow Me Home Lights On message appears.....Not sure how to turn these off. Any assistance would be highly appreciated and would save me money taking to a mechanic.

[@L663]

it could be a problem with the EPB - electronic parking brake module - this is located under the car infront of the spare wheel. These can give problems and are expensive to repair. You need to get the car to a fault reader and look at the faults but the parking brake would be a good start.

[@fadishdaifat6471]

Vijay Do you fix it ?

[@armandoosorio4681]

@@L663 the same problem and Trasmition faul, and was the brake light sensor failing.

[@L663]

@@armandoosorio4681 Glad the video helped

[@Aidan.17]

Every one keep a spare one of these in your car... you can thank me later when i save you a $250 tow!

[@L663]

I had not thought of this - but its not a bad idea !

[@AlimSesay-p6r]

Fault break can cause problems

[@derekkchung]

L322 Full size Range Rover DOES NOT have this switch. It has a non contact hall-effect sensor that does not go wrong. For L322 owners, don't just rush out and buy this switch.

[@L663]

good to know !

[@Qedoshim]

Did he even say why you need to replace this part???!!
