2000 Jaguar S-Type Logo
Posted on Aug 21, 2010

Hi. My Jag head lights have started this blinking thing. As I am driving they will blink for no apparent reason. There doesn't appear to be anything going on otherwise. Any ideas where to start?

I had an S-Type too, I found this blinking when battery charge was low. So my opinion is something wrong with charging, you have to check battery contacts, measure battery voltage and check alternator. A possible case, contact problem at ECU. THe ECU under the house of pollen filter at engine end. You need some car mechanic ambition to remove the house of pollen filter and to clean ECU connectors with contact cleaner spray.
Of course this is just my experience, no guarantee, this works at you.

1995 Honda Odyssey automatic. randomly it will have a slight jerk, then check engine light comes on and d4 light blinks while driving on freeway. the speedometer works fine when these lights appear...

First thing to do is have the computer checked for trouble codes. The blinking D4 light means overdrive is not going to function, probably because of the rough running engine.

First, go around the car and tighten all the locking mechanisms.
A loose one will report 'door ajar'

When I am driving, ramdomly my warning lights start to fliker...?? What is the issue

When I'm driving, specially since it's been snowing out recently my TLC light or whatever it's called will start flashing "TCL Off" even though I had it on, is the car doing this for a specific reason? It stops blinking when I hit the off button on it but then it just stays solid and stops blinking. Anyone have an idea as to why it does this? When I bought the car it did not come with a manual so I have not been able to look it up and can't find anything about it on the internet.

2003 Jag S-type-Blinking dash lights

The long story short it probably your battery being dead or a computer glitch (if there is nothing else apparently wrong with the car)
One is the battery life of an older model jaguar is going to be short compared to newer models. I noticed I have problems with my battery going dead around the 6 th year of the cars life since then a bunch of silly issues. One thing to know is if your car doesn't start it (even if your lights work) is that your battery is to low for the ignition to work (which requires high voltage). You can try removing the batter than re attaching it back to the car.
I have these issues typically when i don't drive for long periods of time in the winter (mostly). The car contains a big gigantic computer (which a lot of owners do nt realize) controlling everything weather you can start the car or not (it has a security system still armed) so when the computer is not working properly or the battery is too low (and their are no other apparent reasons). I would suggest trying a few suggestions on the jaguar forum because its very specific but you would be surprised how stupid the issues end up being. Flat bed a jagaur to any dealership and your already in the hole for 150 plus.
good luck

Starter or electrical problem?

first, i would bring the battery somewhere like autozone, where they can do a free diagnostic check. definately sounds like a battery problem to me. a bad starter should not have that affect on the entire electrical system and will not work if there is not enough current available. if the battery is not the culprit, you may have a bad relay or fusible link somewhere, but i am willing to bet it is the battery.
