Hi Ottie,

Link below is free complete 96 Disco w/shop manual. Should have all the info you need, and then some.

You will need to be on broadband because it's a 14 M pdf. (big file)

chk the solder joints on the window lift ecu (behind glove box) its very common for them to become dry joints so you wont be getting any power

might be enough current to light the test lamp but not run the motor, I have a cheap ECU if you need one.
