| Amber 'rockin' rover light after snorkel install |
|
Ok a couple things going on here. First I drove home for a visit from NC to VA, states of coarse. 80 degrees in NC, dropped to under 32 deg in VA cold front come through.
At the same time I installed a snorkel kit drilling holes in the A-pillar next to the Air bag of coarse.
The holes were some distance from the little plastic Air Bag label/marker, but I read another post here about this light possibly being tied to low air bag sys pressure.
So in my mind either the air susp. has moisture in the lines and it froze or I kicked the air bag or line supplying the air bag sys. when I drilled my holes.
Temps this AM are a little higher, than freezing so I plan to wait to start until temps are up today and see if I get a clean start. IF so it would seem to point moisture in system, possble compressor rebuild/Drier replacement.

Did you take the internal a pillar cover off when you drilled the holes?
Take it off and check, 2 min job.

No I did not remove the interior a pillar just the out.
So update, I went on the road Sunday to go shoot rifles with a friend. At the start of the trip I got the yellow rocking rover so we went along on the bumps with an every now and then a hard bump with tire rub. (I put on bigger tires and a lift kit)
Drove around 20 minutes and at a traffic light turned the key off and back on. No light everything went fine and has gone fine in that the cooler temps have subsided for now, however they will be back. I had no issues or lights while the weather returned to normal temps (Above Freezing of water 32 deg).
So now its got me thinking for sure I have some moisture in the lines, and now with the cooler temps ir condenses and then freezes over night.
Is there a moisture bleed somewhere at a low point drain?
I am ordering a Air Compressor kit with the desiccant material, however I won't return home for another month and have no where to do this work while out of town, much less the proper tools with me.
So anyone know how to drain excessive moisture out from the suspension system? 2005 Land Rover D3, 4.4L V8, Maya Gold Metallic
