HELP!! electric problems

[Russ1234]

I am a new Jaguar owner YESSS!! wanted one for years and had the chance of buying one at a good price.

I do have problems with it though and need HELP advice.

None of the locking system is working and i have to use key in passenger door. I also have to slide key in the slot of the drivers foot well.

my sat nave screen/control unit,  in the center console comes up with the jaguar sign then goes off again and repeats this constantly??

What do i need to do???

Please any advice would be welcome

Hi Russ,

First things first, are you sure the battery in the key fob is ok and is the key fob transmitting? An auto electrician can check the fob signal. Once you are sure the key is ok, the fault will be in the car itself. the way the screen goes on and off Sounds like a possible poor plug in  connection. Does the car start up and run ok with the key plugged in?

Hi 

• Yes once the key is plugged in its fin, i have two fobs and nether of them work so im thinking it not the key but it might be worth while changing the battery's in both just to make sure.

Yes, definately change the batteries and get the signal output checked, then a key fault can be ruled out.
