Replace jaguar stype odometer engine wont start

Good to know that once in a great while we actually help? LOL

the battery in the jag im workin on looks like a bus battery,the car was dead...Ijumped it...it took about 10 mins. charging b4 it would start...drove it 4 about 5 miles and all my lites went out[inside car]started runnin then stalled....alternaters bad...is the new battery u bought 4 it the rite one?try checkin you alternater ????

Had the same problem an old hose had a hole in it. changed hose,problem solved. also bank 1 is passenger side. i have a 2000 jaguar stype.

H8 series, at least 750 cca.

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.

Hi Keith

Probably those little Jag gremlins at it again ?

First thing to do is clear the computers memory, which normally does the trick.

Disconnect both battery terminals, switch on the ignition to start 6 times, this wipes the computer memory, and then reconnect the battery, the Positive + first......... then the Negative -----

Start the car and go from there.

Suspect you had a low battery previously, and this tripped the warning.

Get the battery checked, if it is the original, as it is now 8yrs old, and should be replaced.


Good Luck !

A FixYa rating would be appreciated Thank you !

Is there fluid? is there NO power steering or just very little assist? There is an electrical connector on the steering rack that if not plugged in will cause very little power steering assistance
