Not to start on the wrong foot, but it’s a car, suv or Range Rover. A Jeep is something else entirely.

If the garage are saying that the radio is the problem disconnect it and see if the car drives fine (your satnav will stop working but it won’t effect all the other systems).

Have the battery and alternator tested, it would also be worth seeing if any error codes have been stored.

As it stands though it’s quite difficult to diagnose, these vehicles are full of electronics. It only takes one system to go on the fritz and it can cause a cascade effect, lighting your dashboard up like a Christmas tree in the process.

I think the most important thing with owning one of these vehicles is finding a garage who knows them and whom you can trust

took the radio out and disconnected It did nothing someone told me to do that first as it worked for them dash still lit up like a chrimbo tree she is a range rover sport hse tdv6 auto battery and alternator was checked battery is only a year or so old gonna order a brake pedal switch and a compressor relay and do what I can if I reach a dead end then its off to main dealers or a reputable lr specialist recovery fella told me that he has never brought back a rrsport from them so they must know how to fix them

I think you need to get your computer keyboard fixed as well, as the full stop and comma key don't appear to be working.

Good on u, Thanks for your guidance on my typing skills, will try and sort it.

I don't think Col was having a dig, we all know how stressful it is when one of these things goes wrong.
what I will say is that this forum is populated by enthusiasts who want to help, but in fairness, when you look at several hundred words without a pause for breath, it does put people off from reading it thoroughly and doesn't help them understand your car's symptoms.
It sounds like the best advice given is to find a good land Rover independent who understands them as you have been given the run around by the garage you took it to. Don't take the word of the AA chap as correct either, I had home start out over the cold spell as mine wouldn't start and he told me my battery was fine. It wasn't so I put a new one in and it's started on the button since and no warning symbols (heated screen now works as well).
If you ask on here, someone may be able to recommend a good indi near you.
Good luck with your car, they are sent to try us.

thank you ever so much, just getting used to tode tintanet, will plod on and tick off[ the to do and check list] I have compiled off this forum about similar problems and if no joy will add a new battery on buy list before its carted off to cost me a fortune, hope tode weather is good down your end and keep thy bowels open ode lad.

Obviously I never worded my comment very well or made the point of it, which was, if there was some form of punctuation in the original post it would be far easier to read and understand, rather than one sentence containing several hundred words.

Cheers

You were right col, as oldand from Norfolk pointed out I was in a mess when putting all the faults and garbage I had just gone through. No hard feelings mate it was my fault,I should have been clear composed and precise.things are looking up now I had the chance to get my hands on my baby, armed with all the notes from otherposts similar to mine. Went through all fuses,cleaned every plug to wiring replaced radio and centre console ,hard reset connected battery, no faults coming up on dash but still won't turn over with turn of key,no radio or start up lights,so took battery off,and on chcharge whilst tomorrow, if no improvement then dealer here I come.

No worries my original comment probably came across sarcastic, rather than constructive I'm sure.

Cheers
Col

You put me on my toes that's for sure and it takes a big man to know himself, lets forget it mate, I think its mad that here I am in the uk speaking to someone in new Zealand about problems with a british jeep, one love Col bless you matey.

Only been in NZ for 18 months, moved here from the U.K and brought my car with me (better the devil you know) anyway hope you get yours sorted.

Cheers
Col

Have you tried the hard reset - Disconnect battery?

yes I did this about three weeks ago ,had the battery on charge since last night, the battery is a bosh s4 and about a year old. going to do hard reset again before I put the battery back on.

Hi Dulcie,

From what i have read over the past few months, three things seem to cause spurious faults.

1) blown brake light bulb
2) faulty brake light switch
3) dead or dying battery

question.. does the ignition come on?

if so do the brake lights all come on when the pedal is pressed?and are all the bulbs the same brightness and constant light output or do they flicker on and off?
