2000 Jag S-Type, the lights keep blinking - Please Help

Every now and then while I am driving, the lights (dashboard) blinks. Not sure why. Also when I am idling the car makes a weird whirring noise (again not regularly). I took it to a mechanic and no matter how hard I tried, I could not recreate both problems in the car. He did extensive services and he did not find a problem either.

    What type of noise, is the noise coming from the trunk, cabin or engine. Also does it make a difference if the A/C and the lights are on, could this recreate the issue as the vehicle is under more load?

These cars are fitted with an electronic dash light dimmer switch. Chances are this is your problem. Have changed a couple in the past.

As for whirring, is it from the engine bay?

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.

Airbag dashboard light keeps blinking. In 1997 Ford Thunderbird.

The air bag computer will have to be scanned and the code read to know what the fault the computer detects. The problem will have to be repaired for the light to shut off. Keep in mind, when the air bag light is illuminated the air bag system is deactivated. Meaning, in the event of a collision the bags won't deploy.

One possibility is that the light in not firmly seated in its socket inside the stereo. If you find that the blinking is worse when driving over bumpy surfaces this will help confirm that the issue is related to an intermittent electrical connection.
