Hi,

I have a Jaguar XF 2.0 portfolio 2015, got to work last night and was told my headlight wasn't worked, checked fuses and then ordered new bulbs and fitted tonight, that didn't work, so I hooked up my Carsoft machine and it's coming up Left Headlight imtermittent, BCM error 

 

Can anyone help ?

 

Thanks

Quick google brought up this:

Faulty Headlight Assembly Component A bad bulb, ballast, or internal wiring/control module can cause intermittent operation. Start by replacing the bulb and checking the ballast.
Wiring Harness Issue Corrosion or damage in the wiring connecting the headlight to the BCM can cause data/power loss. Inspect the full length of the harness for damage.
BCM Entering Protection Mode If the BCM detects repeated short circuits, it disables the output to protect itself (U1000-00 code). The short must be repaired, and the BCM may need a specialist software fix or replacement.
Failing BCM Unit

A failing BCM can cause various erratic electrical issues, including lighting problems. This is often due to water damage or voltage spikes.

Locate and check the headlight earth connection is sound. One light failing is more likely to be an earthing issue than a BCM issue.
