Range Rover 4.0/4.6 Problems and Fixes


Starting Problems

Basic Electrics:
The 4.0/4.6 is no more subject to starting problems than any other vehicle, but a few things are handy to know just in case. Current is supplied to the starter solenoid by Relay 16 in the engine compartment fuse box. The relay is supplied by a 30 amp fuse (MF2) in the same fuse box, and is activated by a ground signal from the ignition switch via the BeCM. The fusebox lid gives a key to the relays -- look for one with a starter motor symbol on it. If you cannot hear the relay click when the ignition key is turned to "start", or you suspect it is bad, you can pull it out and jumper pins 30 and 87 to get started.

The fuel pump and injection system is supplied by Relay 12, fed by a 10 amp fuse (F39). These components are also in the engine compartment fuse box and are worth checking if the fuel system is suspected.


Richard Talley traced the starting and charging problems on his 96 Range Rover to a highly corroded, oil-soaked cable running from the battery (positive terminal) to the starter. This caused sufficient voltage drop to affect both starting and charging. Most likely, the connection between the crimped lugs and the cable eventually failed.
