The fuse should have two small exposed metal tabs by probing those tabs with a Volt meter and measuring the voltage you should be able to determine if current is flowing to the module.

Pretty sure it is, as when I pull the fuse things stop working. Also if I disconnect the battery charge it then reconnect the unit shows as working for about 5 minutes, then the stereo turns on and cuts out the back in a few times.. I'm no auto electrician. But something isn't right haha |

I take it that your battery is fighting fit. The FL2 is well known for being unable to work once the battery is more than a few years old. My experience is that the FL2 is very reliable AS LONG AS YOU KEEP A GOOD BATTERY IN IT. Before you start disabling your FL2's electrical systems, look at the battery, or get a charger/booster to deal with the bad days. https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic38965.html?highlight=battery FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011) FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 79k+ miles) (MY2015) Metro in its 11th Year of (Extended) LR Warranty / Full LR Service History (Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?) |

If you read my post in the link https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic38965.html?highlight=battery You will see that my supplier gave me a similar answer ( and also the AA man said just keep it an eye on the battery and keep it charged). As you can read I decided to keep the 'good enough' battery for now, but buy a good quality charger and a lithium booster - just in case. I still feel that you are treating the symptoms (or doing a 'work-around') rather than addressing the problem of a battery which is (like me) only 80% efficient.

To try to understand your problem I have tried looking at your previous posts.

So the Bluetooth unit has not worked properly for a few years, would work then would cut out. Landrover told me it was due to me having a Sony mobile phone and the unit not being compatible, so it falls over itself.

Thanks, I see why you are concentrating on the Bluetooth unit.

Will give the batter a full charge and then test it to see how it fairs.

The M.O.S.T loop is a win. Not lost charge since bypassing the BT unit. |
