  1. On two different occasions i had a loud buzzing noise I think it comes from the engine department. Sounds like a buzzer of some sort. The engine temperature is in the right zone, the lights including the accessory light bars are all off and I heard the sound only two different times that continues until I turnoff the key. I restart the motor and dont hear the buzzing sound. I have gas so I am not running out.. The last time I heard the buzz the gas gauge indicated I had one bar of gas left. After I loaded it on the trailer and got home, the gauge indicated two bars??? Both locations were on a reasonable level ground. The sound is not a horn but a buzzer sound. Where is the buzzer located and what is it trying to tell me? Bob in McKinney
  2. One of the first items i added were two 50 inch light bars on front and back. I used the small SXS Ap5 power pack out of cananda that replaced 5 wiring harness's, fuses and relays for accessories on the Defender. The one power pack allows you to hook up to 7 accessories or replaces 7 wiring harnesses, fuses and relays. Heck of a deal! I needed light when I was backing the can am out of the trailer at night as well as just backing the trailer in the dark of night so I put the 50 incher light bar on back of the can am. Now I cover a great deal of space with light when I back up the trailer. accessory_power_pack_ds.pdf
  3. Can Am McAllister, OK, where I bought my 2020 Defender, said to pry the switch panel off that is right in the center of the dash and also has the key ignition switch on it, and I would see the buss bar. The buss bar doesn't look like the one under the hood. You will see two lonesome looking screw post sticking out from the box that has the extra auxiliary wiring zip tied to it.. They do NOT look like what I would think an electrical connection would look like but it is the treaded silver color post with no nut on it, is the negative and the other silver treaded post is the KEY ON Positive post. It has the red tape on it. Using the Key On positive post, you will not drain your battery. In the picture of the "box" that has the posts sticking out can be seen in the earlier posted picture above. The silver negative post is seen on the upper right side and the one with the red tape is sorta hidden in the picture, but also seen on the right. The positive post under the hood is straight to be battery, no Key On circuit here.
  4. Hooking up a light bar and trying to find the buss under the dash? Here is the hidden buss bar (I think) on my 2020 Defender DH8. The buss bar is now hidden inside the protective cover seen below. I removed the three screws to get to it but it is still being held on to by another fastener which i believe is seen as the round "plastic" knot seen in the close up picture. When I pull down on the cover, I found it will not come off as it is held on to by the plastic pin/knot. I have NO idea how to get the knot or pin to release the cover without breaking it. IF I get the cover off, I do not think I will return the pin, just keep it out as the cover is held by three screws and would be a devil to put back in - no space to move. IF I can get the pin to release i think the rest will be easy as I believe in side the cover we will find the buss BUT. How to get the pin out? ANYONE have an idea?
  5. On my defender 2020, this cluster in the above picture appears to be protected by a cover where i suspect the elusive buss connector with the key on positive and negatives wires are located. I can find nothing on the forums anywhere that shows this type of compartment. I suspect that if i remove the three screws holding to cover, I will find the buss I am looking for. BUT, before I attempt this feat of magic, I wanted to check and see if anyone knows what lurks under the cover. Awaiting your comments and helpful hints.
  6. Ill give it a shot, thanks Bob
  7. Are there any videos or pictures on how to remove the defender 2020 XT dash as I really hate to break it. since I have never done anything like this, it seem pretty impossible unless you know what to do.
  8. Looking for the buss terminal that is said to be under the dash so I can wire up my light bar. I heard that there is a video on how to open the dash so I can get to the buss bar/terminal to hook up yo the keyed powered connection. Does anyone have the URL of the video or a video you can send me showing how to open the dash without tearing it up? Also, which terminal is the 12v keyed power terminal? Is it color coded?
