Hello. It seems your Jaguar's door jamb switch is malfunctioning/defective. Door jamb switches make/break power to the interior lamps AND the 'information' panel in the instrument cluster. It's possible you got the wrong wires. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

Most cars are very quite at that speed. A seal must be out of place somewhere.You may have to tape the sun roof and door opening completely on the outside for testing. Also,sit in the passenger seat and have someone drive while you listen at different areas of the door edges and roof areas through a leftover paper towel center tube. You have some age on the car, just wiping down all rubber soft seal parts with a good rubber conditioner may help too. .......and don't overlook the door glass seals.

Lock mechanism is frozen. Thaw it out.

Look for a small button somewhere underneath typically around the edge bottom edge of your dashboard or where the flashing LED is you need to hold that in while the key is on for like 10 seconds and that will change the mode

The purge valve is not servicible replace and clear codes

The coolant temp sensoris located in the cross pipe in the front of eng in the thermostat housing

I would not use anything more than say 10psi of pressure. I doubt using air pressure will fix the clog if that is the problem, because the pump uses 10-20 psi in normal use. You may have to disconnect the nozzles and use a pin to clean out the ports or find the clog in the main line.

First check to see if you have enough washer fluid in the reservoir. Then check to see if the rubber tubing is kinked or pinched when you close the hood. It is possible but not likely to be plugged up, except during the winter. The spray nozzles could be plugged up, because the opening is much smaller than the tubing. Even though the pump is operating, does not mean that it is actually pumping any fluid. The pump assembly is electrical and mechanical. The electric motor runs, but the pumping mechanism could be defective. If you use compressed air to clean out the rubber tubing, make sure the rubber hose is not connected up to the pump assembly. It might get damaged from too much pressure.

You NEVER in---- my world ---use any sealant in any vehicle systems-- as it is there for life It will stop up a heater core It will stop up a radiator It will not or seldom be a fix for a head gasket replacement Get the idea Don't know what to tell you Did it shut down from lack of oil pressure to save the motor? How your going to get that out of the bearings,cam actuators, oil passages,oil pump,sensors I think your in BIG Trouble & need to ask many shops what success they have had with that issue I say stay out of the parts store chemical isle, with the exception of LUBEGARD for transmission & power steering additives Those are ALL, I Repeat ALL, I use & they actually not only work but are necessary in those two items only (i once owned a trans shop) I use NO other brands,no Lucus,no genie in a bottle Just Mobil 1 Oil & Lube Guard & make the proper diagnoses to all vehicles & do the necessary & painful repairs

couldnt even envisage a answer without a good look iam afraid to say but it should open from the inside if it doesnt then its a fault with operating solonoid for the central locking thats hold the mechanism down but i think this door lock is all incorperated in one and its the same as a ford mondeo or focus but as yet i havent had to change one so i dont know exactly

Sorry, the process is simple but too lengthy to post here.

They make the system and have very complete instructions you can download.

PLEASE NOTE: MOST but not ALL Brands / models of opener will work with this system.

I have a Mercedes Benz and the part that causes that Same problem is the crank shaft position sensor. When its faulty it may not throw an engine light for that part. Benz, BMW, jaguar share a lot of the same German engineering and bosh parts.

There is no way of knowing. It is possible that the seal that was used to replace the original was not quite correct for some reason. Really ya just don't know.

You will need to have the car towed to a Jaguar dealer to fix it.

the front brakes are straight forward, open the brake fluid reservior,remove tires,then the caliber,then remove pads and use a c-clamp to compress the calibers,,install new pads,,the reinstall the cap on the fluid reservoir,when you crank the car,pump the brakes three times and on the last pump hold the paddle to floor then pull the electronic park brake. you will hear the module reset....

the key has note been programmed to the security module.....

the air suspension will go into default mode after 30 days and the entire car will lower.I suggest that you at lease drive the car for a few miles every week.

My opinion is to leave them be unless your experinced, because you may damage the electronics...May I ask whats wrong with the mirrors?

It sounds like the ignition control module shorted out due to the moisture. Get yourself a spark tester from the parts store. Have someone crank the engine will you check for spark. Here is one that will only cost about $7. Once you know if you have spark we will be able to help you better.
