I wish I could help Nash. I don't know much about the alarm though. Hopefully someone else will jump in here (sometimes it can take a day or two before someone with the answer sees your post). Craig

From the earlier thread on your problem, it sounds like the alarm brain is disabling the truck because it thinks there's problem when there isn't. Can you end run the starting circuit around the alarm so you have a useful truck while you troubleshoot? Unsolicited editorial comment -- If I figured out how to defeat the alarm, I'd stop there. Alarms provide next to no useful protection.

If you need further help on your alarm issue, you can check out this website if it helps. http://en.allexperts.com/q/Land-Rover-Repair-1470/ Sorry I couldn't tell you exacts on how to any of the alarm issues, personally I would just clip the wire or pull the fuse thats for the alarm. Just my 1cent.

Truck with pinstriping.

OK, So I just jumped the battery and the Rover started, so now with the knowledge of the the draining battery and the P1668 fault code I think I know the problem. Something is shorting out the battery and it is dying. What do you guys think?? Make sense, now how do I find the SHORT?? Almost there? Thanks, Nash
