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.
