- In this video I show you how to locate the Final Stage Heater Resistor or sometimes known as the 'Hedgehog' on a Range Rover Vogue TD6 L322, year 2005, which can cause the car to not got to sleep and therefore drain the battery.
Replacement Resistor available next day on Amazon: amzn.to/3SK1MnL
Replacement Battery Yuasa here: amzn.to/3LY2ifS
NOTE: After replacing with new resistor, the RED light near the 'P' should extinguish after 16mins after you lock the car. If it stays illuminated then the car is not going to sleep and may by draining battery. Watch this video to understand further:
• Range Rover Battery Dr...
I show the panels to remove and how to locate, remove and replace. The results I had solved my battery drain problem as the car was not sleeping after the 16mins that it is suppose to. This meant that the red LED at the gear shift was always on and sometimes the Radio orange bar LED would be flashing all the time.
The part cost about £30 and tool a bout 30mins to replace.
Any question or help please subscribe and I will send a reply.

This video is brilliant 👍
I brought a new resistor this morning and managed to fit it. A little bit tight and fiddly but itsin and lights and radio are not messing about, and the blower is back working.
Fingers crossed no battery drain.massive thanks 👌🍺
Well done bro, check that red LED near gear shift, after 16 mins should extinguish
Please some more feedback.
Great video! Thank you, I really appreciate you putting this out here. Really like the general knowledge tidbits thrown in too :)
hey thanks for such kind remarks, I started posting video to help people years ago before the influx of youtube and I found that people started to ask for more and liked them, hence why I started to create the channel !
Thank you for making and posting this video. The fan has stopped working on my 2003 3.0 Td6 Range Rover HSE and other forums show this component as the likely cause. So I have got a replacement and having watched your video I can try changing it at the weekend.
I will let you know what happens. Cheers.
Great, really hope it works, try pushing seat back and lying on your side or back to work on it.
Hi again, Thanks again for this video. We did it yesterday and it took about 40 minutes all in to complete the swap. According to a website I found yesterday the old unit out of my 2003 HSE is the same manufacturer (Sistronic) and the same part number as yours but this is original equipment, so I am curious,. However the replacement we used again is the same as the one you have used and everything is back up and running! It was getting more and more difficult to use the vehicle in the cold very wet weather we have had over the last couple of weeks so a working fan has been a necessity not a nice to have.
I am now going to trawl through your other videos.
Cheers
Great work
The "Aftermarket (old one) is marked BMW and was made by Valeo. This to my mind means it certainly OEM. Valeo make loads of parts for various European manufacturers and certainly for BMW. Of course they still go wrong lol
A very useful video. Thanks for cutting it up.
Many thanks mate, for your time, video and help! Best wishes.
Same issue I’m having with my BMW X5 (2006). I’m bout to go try it now. It is having the EXACT same issues. And they literally use the same part in that car as I found out accidentally stumbling onto your page. Here goes nothing 💯💯💯
Did it work?
Thank you for the guidance in the video. I have replaced my resistor about an hour ago..thank you
Hey, great to hear, hope your car is all fixed, have a look at the RED led near gear shift it should go out after 16mins of locking car. Thanks if you subscribed!
Just changed this on my dads MY06 tdv8 l322, same sitronic part so I'm presuming both yours and mine are original parts
Will post if it cures the battery drain issue
Thank you for the tip and how to fix it, I've a battery drain somewhere can here like a fan sound on mine from climate. Does drain over night but suspect battery is weak as well. New battery to fit tomorrow and just ordered a resistor! Cheers
How did your fix turn out ?
@@our2much New Battery and fitted the Hedgehog behind the dashboard, problem solved!
@@adrianevans1076 great work
Nice video very useful 👏
Wish I'd known about this 5 years ago when I had an L322
Yes the red light on gear selector also goes out 👍🤘
Thank you for pinpointing this cheap and cheerful, difficult to access valve.
Q: should one drain the coolant before undertaking this delightful task?
Subbed btw.
Hi there, sorry which valve is that you are referring, coolant valve?
So sorry, posted it on the wrong video!
@@kevinabalo ha thought so,
Yes my light on range selector was on too as soon as I got in the truck hope it’s this resistor even tho seems hard to get to
This is an excellent "fix," I have the same battery drain problem, but have solved it to a certain extent by leaving the battery on constant top up charge, does this only occur if the vehicle is left unlocked ? i never lock mine overnight as I live in France, and wondered if that unlocked condition was causing the problem, very many thanks for posting this video! Chris B.
Hi there, I've not tried not locking, but would recommend locking to see if the car goes to sleep. I will try not locking and see what happens!
@@GrooveOn And I will try locking to see if that makes any difference, good idea, Chris B.
I have the same symptoms. New part is due to arrive tomorrow however I have removed the old one ready.. but my symptoms remain and the part is not even plugged in?
Great video for locating the final stage resistor but may i please ask...how the holy hell did you pull the old resistor out?
Okay, so it's hard to see but there is a supporting clip below the resistor unit that has to be pressed downwards and then it easily comes out. The cable housing on the other hand is an absolute bitch to detach from the resistor. Why oh why did they have to put it on the driver's side?! Such a fiddly job with the pedals and the heater duct in the way. I'm at the end of my tether with this bloody car!
@@Aurion254 well done for getting it out, would make left hand drive a doddle. Time the red led at the gear shift to see if it now goes out after 16 mins!
@@GrooveOn unfortunately I think the new unit is also faulty as the blower has now gone from coming on intermittently to constantly on even when the engine is off. Time to take it to the pros I think
What test did you do to determine the resistor was at fault?
I researched the issue and it pointed towards the resistor, it was cheap to buy so just took the chance.
Did it solve the problem ??
Yes, no more dead battery!
L322 takes 16 minutes to go to sleep.
For a US model would this be on our passenger side then? Wasnt sure from the video and would hate to take out the drivers side only to find i need to take down my passenger side (your drivers side)
Hi there, I would be very surprised if Range Rover changed the resistor over to the other side between countries, it just would not be cost effective! If I was a gambling man I would say 95% sure it's the same for left hand drive, should be easier as you don't have peddles too! Good luck let me know
Great video
Thanks for the feedback and if you subscribed🙏
Very useful
I’ve got a battery drain! I’ve ordered one of these, not sure if it’s a good one as only £20.
it should be fine mate. use my video to help remove the old resistor.
Is it applicable to Range Rover 2009 sport ?
Hi there, Although I did have a Sport I didn't check sorry mate
@@GrooveOn The issue is I have a battery drain in my Range Rover 2009 sport, Could you advise ?
Do you happen to know if the 2012 L322 also uses this part?
What to do is put in your car details on Amazon , then search and see if your model is compatible
I have a problem with my 2012 one blower won't come on it all lights up and makes its sounds so I changed that part but still dose the same its maybe a motor what has gone that its looking like.
The heater blower I think in your car has the twin hamster cage style wheels, I am not sure if they rotate independently, but if you can get to it, then you'll probably find its the brushes worn to the commutator and you could replace possibly. If you buy another one, I would recommend original, or at least a used genuine original. Good Luck let me know how you get on.
@@GrooveOn the way its looking it be a motor out job with a genuine part ( yeah I think it the duoble wheel one with a single motor in the middle seen a video on it top of the dash has to come off a bit of cutting specially where its located in might put a video on it. Thanks.
@@CarLifee did you get to fix yours? I’ve got same issue, just changed mine and hasn’t solved. I’ve also got a 2012 Westminster.
@@mrjono999 I left it a for a bit it just came back on by it Self I changed the last stage resistor and a fuse in the back which was a 40 Amp it still didn't work then took it on run and it just comes back on by itself take it on the motorway about 50 to 60 the airflow may just kick start it I know it sounds a bit odd but it may just save you from taking out the dashboard.
My wiper motors work when on, but when turned off I still hear a noise coming from the dash
If you hear a faint buzz, then this is normal, but it should stop after 16mins, look at the red led near gear shift, ensure it extinguishes.
Hi pal I'm back again lol. I was watching this HVAC resistor vid, I wanted to ask. You said that the hedgehog resistor just pushes in, I uncoupled the connection but I see there is a torx screw holding it in and possibly two more in the most inaccessible place. Is there an easier way to remove the resistor.
Hi there , it has been a while but now I think of it there were two screws yes. I like to use a small socket set the type that can get into small places. I use this bacho set which I've ad for years. amzn.to/47dpfpi
Hi pal I've done the final stage resistor now and woohoo no red led or battery drain. You're a genius mate
@@George-hs2zm fantastic, superb news mate well done
I've done it on mine, I sat in the car till the red led went out, heard a little click as it went off. You're a genius mate.
@@George-hs2zm Those 16mins when you sitting watching that LED take a while :) Glad you got it sorted.
is this is reason when you open the car door you hear clicking sound for about 10 sec ??
Hi there, the resistor doesn't click its just a solid state item. I don't recall my car having any clicking, its possibly your display module. What to do is lock the car and wait 14mins to see if the red led extinguishes at the gear shift. If it stays on its likely your resistor is gone
@@GrooveOn Hi, thanks for reply! yes my red led gear shift turned off after a few minutes , and the head works fine
What sort of distorted mentality designs electronics like this? Why should a fan speed controller affect other systems?
Do u know if the truck will
Run correct if the resistor is not connected
I finally got new alternator and we are doing it now but battery drained again and it was not the dash panel like
Other guy said so I think it this resistor cause light stays on center console and radio stayed on for like 15 min when I closed doors and locked I waited 20 min and center light on transmission selector turned off after 20 min
I would think not as the resistor is integral to the HVAC and without the resistor it would simply confuse the system mate.
@@GrooveOn so can that resistor cause the hdc to come on dash hdc fault ?
@@willieurus Basically the resistor controls the voltage and current to the HVAC system, if it stops working, the car does not go into standby after 16mins and drains the battery.
There won't be anything on dash to signify
Some guy says to disconnect the control panel see if it’s the battery drainer and seems like it is but is it the panel bad or the resistor u replaced on this video?
I replaced the resistor, all good
@@GrooveOn so the resistor also
Runs the control panel ?
@@GrooveOn so the long pins on resistor don’t go into anything just hang out and plug in the plug and the long silver pins just hang out or do they need to be slid into a connector
@@willieurus sorry I'm not sure what you mean
@@GrooveOn I will trouble shoot it all again once battery fully charged then I’ll check everything and get back to u thanks buddy very much needed help
Can one use the car without a resistors please
Not likely, I have asked in different places and the resistor is part of the cars heater wiring matrix, if the resistor is not in place, then the car will not have a method to regulate the heater etc, For all they cost I would replace the resistor and see if the red LED light at the gear shift goes off after you lock the car and wait 16 + mins.
