Got an issue with a disco 3 when idling or driving faults come up on Instrument cluster ignition on and off it clears happens again a few minutes later. DTC read are U0100-87 PBM lost comms with engine control module control module A. It has had a new instrument cluster and power train control module. Disconnecting the PCM connectors and the battery I put one multimeter led to a good ground and test all the wires at the PCM I find them all clear except one wire that has continuity with the multimeter bleep. I think I have a short to ground in the engine bay harness, have you seen this issue before?

Yes, this is a problem that any car can have but I would check the engine control module relay to make sure it is working and giving power to the PCM. Here is a guide to help test it and the location of the relay (under-hood fuse panel) I have also included the engine wiring diagrams below and a guide to help test the wiring as well.
