Thank you!

I think I need to give up for today as to cold and dark.

Hopefully there is an easy test to do tomorrow to find this annoying problem!

I believe that there is a fusable link under the seat for lights #14 I think. Check that as well. 2010 Range Rover MkIII Autobiography Super Charged (Idris)

So the problem appears to be a damaged orange block above and behind the fusebox near the gear stick.

Problem is how do i get to it to fix it as i have air conditioning!

Help......

Expose the fuse panel (by removing the cover). Undo the two philips screws holding the fuse panel to the bulkhead. Remove the defective relay, replace and test the sytem. Then reinstall the two screws, fuse cover and you are done. 👍 2010 Range Rover MkIII Autobiography Super Charged (Idris)

Found the problem!

Dash out managing to disconnect the air con Smile

Found this blue connector with a burnt out bit, cleaned it, dash back in.

All done in three hours, very pleased no just hope it lasts.

Would it burn out due to brighter bulbs being used as it happned not long after bulb upgrade.

Have you installed a boomslang style headlight wiring loom? This puts relays to the lights and takes the load off the OEM wiring harness as well as the switch. It also increases the headlight brightness a bit. Well owrth it if you have not sone so. 2010 Range Rover MkIII Autobiography Super Charged (Idris)

Are the side lights working in position 1 of the switch.

When you switch to position 2 (headlights) do the side lights stay on or go out?
