I just noticed that the center console cooler switch doesn't illuminate when I turn it on. What's the first thing I should check? Where's the fuse/ relay etc? It's not getting cold either

Tried the cooler again today and now it's working!

Why would it not work at night with all the lights on etc but it turns On in the morning? Strange cars these Rovers! Ra-Ro Sport Super Dooper Charged.

Has been covered a few times in other threads.

One of the ECUs (don't ask me which one) has an energy management role. If the battery voltage is a little low then the ECU switches off power to some components such as the fridge, heated screens (don't suppose you have much use for those in Dubai) heated seats etc. so that more energy is available to turn the starter.

You will find that if you switch the fridge off before starting the car and then try it again after say 10 minutes of driving it will probably come on. On later models (after 2007?) the fridge only works when the key is in the 'on' position. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Thats usefull to know thanks.

The battery was brand new two weeks ago but yesterday was hotter than hell here so the Air con was working flat out.
