SOURCE: jaguar s/type wont start had flat battery now replaced x.reg 2000

Yes the key needs to be reprogramed to the car. Unfortunately that will have to be done by the dealer. Make sure that you have plenty of proof that you are the owner. They will reprogram it but you will not take posession of the car until you prove it is yours.

SOURCE: security light came on yesterday... nowy car

Turn key to run position and leave it there for about 10 mins.......or until security light goes out.
Car should start then.
Also......try another key.....the reader in the lock cylinder may like it better.

SOURCE: car does not start after wires shorted out fuses

"Shorted" wires ALWAYS cause blown fuses or burned fusable links. There may also be damage to your onboard computer. I would recommend having the car towed to a reputable shop that can diagnose and/or repair your electrical system.

SOURCE: MY CAR WONT START HAVE

Just because you charged the battery doesn't mean it held a charge or is capable of starting the car. To me it sounds like a dead battery or a bad cable. do you have a meter to check the voltage of the battery, if it is below 12 volt you are going to have trouble starting the car. The clicking is a sign of a weak battery or bad starter selenoid, no lights tell me a dead battery or like I said bad cable. Check all the cables from the battery to the starter and ground, look for looseness or corrosion.

1997 Cherokee Sport. This just started yesterday. The dash lights only come on when the rear window defroster is cut on. The dash lights go off when the rear defroster is cut off. Any ideas ??

all else works (my other shoe drops/)? car drives ok , even at night?
well that wiring to those 2 wires are shorted together.

i guess you meant the cluster warning lamps?. or the cluster back lamps? or are you talking courtsey lamps? (they glow head lamps on)/? no sure what DASH means (as they say,location,location location) 4000 parts on a car, so.... location matter
please.

the cluster power is fuse 17, key on. white-blk wire.
that runs the whole cluster, but back light illumination lamps
back lights are on the dimmer knob.

defroster, the front glass HVAC defroster, knob.
or the rear glass heater defroster, which end of car, ?
rear glass heater is the BK/Rd wire (black-red)
powered by a RELAY , this wire is shorted. to dash xxxxxxx
if i knew what DASH means, id get way more accurate.
I have the drawing btw.
can do all electrics.

1994 Honda Civic not starting

you need to check all fuses one by one for loose contact.leave the igtion key to on position and try to tap the fuse box, shake wires from battery going to inside the car.A testlight is effective in diagnosting this trouble.Probing the wires on the ignition switch while turning on the key.Need somebody to observe the cluster while performing the troubleshooting.

Dashboard lights won't come on

Most often the tail lights and dash lights share a single feed and fuse.
Assuming you have checked the fuses (probably marked as tail or courtesy)
If you have good fuse and the head light gives a voltage out while in the 'parking light' position (usually between off and headlights) then you need to start chasing wiring.

Dash lights

This might sound like a dumb question, but I've done this myself: Is it possible that the dimmer switch is turned down? If not, check the fuse for the insturment/gauges, if that is ok then you can check to see if the ground wire came off under the dash. Lastly, if all else is ok, replace the headlight switch. They can partially still work for the other things, like the headlights, taillights, etc....and not work for the others, like your dash. I sincerely hope that I could help. Best wishes.
