Why does fuse blow when brake pedel pressed rangerover p38

Check radiator hoses ,and radiator tank for splits around hoses when hot thats when the pressure builds up and the leak occurs.

Sounds like a faulty switch pack or the resistor pack. Strongly suggest you do not try to fix it yourself, but you insist on doing so, you will get more info on www. rangerovers.net

Its a faulty turn signal switch.Try this,push down and hold brake pedal while pushing on the hazard switch and if the brake lights come on then replace the signal switch.

CHECK BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND ITS WIRING.AND CHECK ALL BRAKE LIGHT BULBS SOCKETS FOR ANY SIGNS BURN MELT SOCKETS. YOU WILL FIND WHAT SHORTING OUT BLOWING FUSE.

I suggest you to change that. Because very initially it makes problem. I found a site they are providing best Land Rover Range Rover part. It may be help ful for you.

check the brake pedal switch by connecting a test light to it and ground.

When the pedal depresses you might hear a click or see the button depress.

The test light should light or not light changing as you press and release the pedal.

Another way to do this is to change the brake pedal switch and see if it works.

I hope this helps.
