i think that has actually been done by a electrician a while ago but typically when it was there everything worked...
Just got it back today after a service and they tried to find the issue but look like no luck.

They checked on all the common places where they usually get shorts on TD5's but could not find anything. http://banddc.blogspot.com/

Hi, Sorry for the late reply. Just got back from a 2 weeks Botswana trip so had a bit of catching up to do at work...

Thanks for the diagrams but that is not quite what im looking for...
I need to check for a short somewhere so was hoping to get a better idea of where in the landy the cables physically are.

Will open up all the indicator lights and check the wiring there but after that...Does the cables go threw the roof, under the seats or where do i need to open...

I guess there is no specific way to test them since it only happens now and then?

THanks http://banddc.blogspot.com/
