Can anyone help iv just replaced my steering wheel on sport for new one I disconnected battery for 15 mins to de activate air bag removed all parts replaced steering wheel with new one connected everything back re attached the battery everything seemed ok few hours later the car alarm started going off and all central locking was going crazy opening and closing so I tested battery i t was down on volts so I replaced battery with new one and still my car is doing some crazy stuff can anyone point me in right direction to fix problem .?

Almost all systems communicate through the instrument cluster/assembly and if the battery voltage is low this will cause the 'Christmas tree' effect with the warning lights.

Disconnect your battery and charge it then reconnect - with any luck it will all reset. Sunroof, windows etc may need recalibrating.

Iv just replaced it with new battery so why would I need to charge battery
.?

Iv just seen on net that I may need to take it to Landrover to get re coded what's your thoughts ?

If it was all fine before replacing steering wheel, have you put it back together properly? What was the reason for replacing steering wheel? 5.0 Ltr Superchrged RRS2, Chile Red, Sideways out of junctions!
TDV8 HST Stornaway on a 08.. remapped.. now gone and replaced, was a mighty fine car..
4.2 SC First Edition when they first came out, quick car!

Yes tried replacing it with old one makes no difference ! Replaced it because I got new one from Kahn

Nothing needs recoding, are you sure the new battery is fully charged, unless the wiring is wrong just changing the wheel should not cause any problems.. try a hard reset and see if that fixes it, and also what is the alternator pumping ot volts wise..

Hi flack
Iv had one of my lads in work shop look at it and all voltage is correct even took it out on long drive with everything switched off and got back to yard pressed key fob to lock car within 3/5 mins it started going crazy plugged in computer and only fault code was Body control unit lost memory so that's why I'm thinking I need to get Landrover to code it in !

Please advise

Cheers

Flack what's hard reset ? Taking battery leads off tap them together and then re attach ?

Yes thats it, but if you are getting that error code about bcm it has some how corrupted something, I think you might need to sync the ipack with the bcm to get rid of the error. The only thing I can think of is the battery was low when you reconnected it and this caused your problem.

Cheers flack I'll take it to Landrover and see what they say

Hi Jonny
I change my battery recently as I was constantly getting transmission errors on the dash, cause battery could not maintain >12 volts for the computers. Anyway I took it to my local garage who reset the errors messages and everything is OK now.
