Hi Alistair My understanding is that a replacement module will need coding to work. I would do a ring around and see if you can get the problem solved without a hardware change. Most likely problem IMHO is the software in the relevant computer module was corrupted by a transient low / high voltage event in the battery change (unlucky but it can happen). The simplest fix is to restore the software which is almost certainly possible with the correct diagnostics software and knowledge. Good luck 🙂 John

Hi Alistair I Feel your pain having suffered permenantly locked rear doors / non-operational rear windows when I let the battery of my 2013 Sportbrake go flat in the first Covid Lockdown. Mine was fixed under warranty from a Non-Jaguar main dealer, (after the AA managed to get in and jump start it) who did have access to Jag main dealers in the same group. They apparently talked them through the process of re-coding the module using their generic "Autologic" diagnostic software. If you search on here there have been a number of threads about garages who can sort this in 15 minutes for around £100. I think one was a company called MDM at Coalville Leicestershire Obviously the East Midlands is a long drive from Cornwall but might be worth it. I think my first port of call would be to ring around and try and find a more local jag independent (there is one in Honiton, Devon) and see if they can sort it. Pretty sure the BCM replacement would need coding to the car in any case. Good Luck and please let us know how you get on as it helps others in the future. John

Hello all, I have owned a 2013 Jaguar XF for the past 11 years. Recently, at a non Jaguar garage, the alternator was changed, requiring batteries disconnect. I suspect that a battery saver was not used. Consequently the, dreaded, central locking failure and inability to set alarm was an immediate problem. I have subsequently replaced the batteries with, a scanner, battery reset done by the same garage. They, however, are unable to repair the central locking problem and don’t seem to be particularly interested. An electronics specialist believes that the rear body control module was “blown” when the batteries were disconnected at time of the alternator replacement. I have ordered one on eBay, just in case. Does anyone know of any other solutions, should replacement of the BCM prove unhelpful. Regards Alastair Paterson.

mrmike started following Fuse for dashcam permanent supply
-
The dashcam I have (not fitted) has an inline fuse already. I think that it is better to have a 2 Amp inline fuse just for the cam. Be careful if the wiring can chafe anywhere on the body work. Without going to a circuit diagram check if you have any contacts permanently live in the 2 dash panels.

Hi Phil Info to help replace the stalk is here: http://www.jagrepair.com/JaguarXFLightStalkReplacement.htm Lots of other useful info on that site. Sounds like it might be a dodgy contact in the stalk or a faulty Central Junction Box which controls current flow to both the indicators and the headlights. Does indicating turn main beams on even when light switch is off, or does it just move from dipped beam to full beam when the headlights are on and you try turning? John

Try exposing the stalk operating elements and clean up the contacts with contact cleaner. N6 JMX

Isn't it slightly illegal to have this type of fault?

Hi Phil, I have the same happening on my 2006 XK except for the fact it happens when i turn left!, started soon after I aquired the car 2 1/2 years ago now. My specialist told me it's the stalk that needs replacing however your post just reminded me that i never got around to doing anything about it. So replace it or forget about it and save some dosh and enjoy your car.
