Can not locate battery in

If the engine cranks normal, then the battery is good. You are looking at no fuel or no spark. Bad crank shaft position sensor or bad fuel pump or fuel pump relay most likely, could be other things less likely

The "transmission fault" light came

Yes. Chances are, your fault code has been stored and will be able to be retrieved by reading diagnostics. They can then be interpreted and the fix...if necessary implemented. You may be able to get the codes read and interpreted for free at a national parts chain such as Advance or Auto Zone...they do this as a service in hopes of selling you the "fix" part or sensor. But Yes, It does need to be checked, and if you are money concious...(Like Me), take my advice first, before taking it to the Jag dealer and getting more than you bargained for! Good Luck! I hope you find this to be very Helpful!

Jaguar xk8 1997 The throttle

My throttle body problem was diagnosed by the local Jaguar dealer (Barrett Jaguar in San Antonio, TX). They wanted $1200 to fix it. I had read on the internet that the throttle body should be cleaned out first because that could be the problem. When I asked them if they could clean it first to see if that is what is wront they told me that it would not do any good. It was an electronic problem and the whole thing needed replacing. I had my brother-in-law who is a mechanic clean it out for us and reinstall it. We have had no more problems. Can you believe I got a coupon in the mail yesterday from Barret Jaguar for a $143.50 throttle body cleaning special!!!!!! Liars all of them! Don't trust your dealer to tell you the truth! They just want as much money as they can **** out of you.

The driver's window lowers a little bit each time

Probably your battery is bad. either charge or replace that and then learn the windows again. (have you got your radio code before removing battery?) to learn the windows do them one at a time with door closed. hold the down button you hear a clck a few seconds after it opens fully now hold the up/close button and again wait for the click. easiest is to hold the button pressed for 10 secs after the windo has fully traveled down then send it up and again 10 secs after it stops moving.

Occasionally when trying to start

Hello Sir,
It seems that you are facing bad starter problem.You need to have a service of your starter. But before that make sure that the starter is the bottle neck of the problem you are facing. To check the starter you have to under go the following procedure:

Find the alternator (generator) and find the plug associated with the alternator. Find the black wire coming off of the plug. Connect a multimeter between the black wire (red lead on the multimeter) and chassis ground (black lead of multimeter). When attempting to start the car, what does the multimeter read? If under 11.0 VDC, then you have a bad battery cable, replace the cable between the battery and the starter. If the voltage stays constant with no change, then your problem lies with either a bad relay, bad wiring, or a bad solenoid on the starter itself.

If you think that you have a bad starter relay, interconnecting wiring, or a bad solenoid on the starter, you will need to move the red lead on the multimeter to the white/red wire on the starter (small terminal on the starter). Attempt to start the motor again. Does the multimeter jump to over 11.0 VDC? If yes, bad starter, replace starter. If no, then remove the starter relay (forward most relay against the fender on the passenger side of the car near the back corner). Now, install a short piece of wire between pins 3 and 5 of the relay box where the relay used to be. Does the motor turn over now? if yes, you have a bad relay. If no, then you have a problem with the wire between the relay box and the starter.

Hope this helps. If you need me to explain anything more, let me know.
Regards.

"Transmission Fault" warning light came

Hi!

In the event of “Transmission Fault” following things need to be checked

Gear shifting: Driver gear selection is transmitted from the gear selector lever by cable to a lever fitted to a selector shaft in the transmission casing. This shaft moves the manual valve and the rotary switch. The rotary switch signals all gear positions except D to 4. A separate switch in the driver gear selector mechanism detects movement of the selector between D and 4. The communication of driver gear selection to the TCM is made by the rotary switch. Gear shift points are selected by the TCM in response to output speed, engine load, selector position, accelerator pedal position and driver mode selection. Driver control of the shifting is via the selector lever, throttle pedal position, kick down switch and mode switch. Two shift modes are available, sport and normal, controlled by the driver from a switch on the gear selector surround. During kickdown, gear upshifts occur at 6800 RPM engine speed.

Mechanical Description: The unit is an oil filled-for-life system therefore no dipstick is fitted to the transmission. A filling/level plug is located at the right-hand side rear of the casing for service oil level checking and replenishment, if required. To achieve effective cooling, the oil is pumped from the transmission casing at the front left-hand side of the casing to the car mounted oil cooler. The oil is returned from the cooler to the inlet connection on the front right-hand side of the casing. The cooler is a plate-type design made from aluminum and is located in the car radiator outlet tank. To detect changes in oil viscosity which occurs as the oil temperature changes, an oil temperature sensor is located in the unit casing sump. Also located in the transmission casing are the input shaft speed sensor (turbine speed) and output shaft speed sensor (vehicle speed). The torque converter is a lightweight unit which, because of its low mass, improves engine responsiveness. The torque converter bell housing is bolted to the transmission casing. Mounting of the transmission is conventional by bolting the torque converter bell housing to the engine. The rear extension housing is bolted to the transmission casing and forms the rear engine/transmission mounting point. It also carries the output shaft oil seal. The electro-hydraulic module contains three solenoid valves and five pressure regulators for gear shifting. Each of the three solenoid valves control the flow of transmission fluid to the selected clutches. One pressure regulator serves as master pressure control for the entire system and one is used exclusively for torque converter clutch lock-up operation. Replacement transmission units are shipped complete with the torque converter and housing, extension housing, coupling flange and rotary position switch. They are also fully filled with 10 liters (2.645 US. gals) of oil. Consequently, when undertaking a transmission replacement, oil replenishment should not be necessary. The exterior of the transmission is coated with non-drip corrosion protection oil, which must not be mistaken for an oil leak.

Electrical Connections

Bayonet Connector: A round, 16-pin, bayonet electrical connector is fitted at the rear left-hand side of the transmission which communicates with the 5 pressure regulators, 3 shift solenoids, oil temperature sensor and the input and output.

Automatic Transmission: The five-speed automatic transmission is designed to accommodate different driving styles and automatically adapt shift patterns to suit varying road/driving conditions. The switch marked .S. on the .J. gate surround enables the driver to select either normal .N. or sport .S. transmission modes.In addition to the .switched. Transmission modes (.N. and .S.) the transmission control module will select shift patterns to suit specific conditions. These are:

Cruise Control. When cruise control is operating at set speed the transmission selects a shift pattern to suit cruise control operation.

Traction Control. When traction control is switched ON and the system is activated, the transmission selects a shift pattern to suit traction control conditions.

Gradients. When the vehicle is being driven on roads with uphill gradients, the transmission selects a shift pattern designed to make better use of engine power and aid engine cooling.

Note: Under the conditions described above, the relevant transmission mode will override the .N. or .S. modes selected by the driver. When such conditions no longer exist, e.g. Cruise Control switched OFF, the transmission will revert to the shift pattern previously selected by the driver, i.e. .N. or .S..

Please do accept this solution and revert for further assistance.


Thanks

My Jaguar XE mirrors stop folding close with fob, but they close if I do manually and now the passenger door is not locking. What to do??? When I use the fob all doors close except the passenger side.

Folding mirrors normally have a setting to fold automatically or to fold only manually. https://www.google.com/search?q=jaguar+xe+folding+mirrors The passenger door not locking is likely a broken wire or a door module issue. For that, you need an auto electrician who has access to data sheets and also has a pro grade scan tool computer. The scan tool is bi-directional and can instruct things to happen electronically and verify that they did and if they didn't why? https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..

Jaguar xf 2015 brake lights staying on!

You've definitely got some weird stuff happening here. All I can suggest is you get a good Auto Electrician to look at this. It could be anything from a simple short in the wiring, A faulty switch to something more serious in the vehicle's ECU. Have you had the vehicle scanned for trouble codes? This will help figure out if this is an electronics issue or an electrical one. If your paying for the scan ask at 4 or 5 places as prices can be Very different!
