Baza T 0 Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Hi can anyone help, I have an R model which started making a load cracking noise which I found was coming from a small metal box under the fuse box. Iam not very good or confident with working on cars, anyway I took the fuse box fittings and unplugged the small conecter to this little box, which has stopped the horrible crackling noise(it was like an old fashioned radio load noise, I presume it has had/got in grese of water in it. Could not get it off as one bolt from inner wing kept spinning) Has anyone heard of such a thing? SECONDLY now an abs fault / day not available and now engine management light has come on, I don't know if this is purely coincidental Or not. My machanic/pal is supposed to be plugging the car into his diagnostic machine tomorrow😏 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JOE-DOT-COM 317 Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 Hi Barry That sounds like the active alarm sounder, its in a metal box under the fuse box at this age the batteries inside fail and the shake themselves to bits can be fixed with a replacement, I replaced mine with the non active sounder, active ones tend to give lots of problems and random alarm conditions cheers Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JOE-DOT-COM 317 Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 hi abs dsc faults are usually a faulty abs sensor, you will know for sure when they plug in idealy you need someone with Jaguar IDS/SDD which will read every module on the car most code reader dont best place for sounder is ebay, new ones dont come up often, but used do cheers joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
