Question edited for clarity Question moved to model category. Why do you want to cook and clear the computer? You can clear it by disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes, but you open up a whole can of worms, resetting the anti-theft system and immobilizer, finding the radio code and all the things that need re-learning. The proper way to clear codes is with a scan tool. If you want to clear all historical data, you need a pro grade scan tool COMPUTER, and that is what you need now, not to clear the codes but to diagnose all the computer modules, sensors, and transmission solenoids that are causing the issue. It is a known issue and it might be a cheap fix if it is the shift linkage. https://www.google.com/search?q=2000+Jaguar+S-type+3.0%2C+won%27t+move+in+gear ..

Question edited to clarity. Question moved to model category. It has a speed limiter on it because the tyres are not rated for its top speed. I wonder if that is what the 'L' stands for? https://www.google.com/search?q=2011+jaguar+xjl+speed+governor+problems& The base car will execute 0-60 mph runs in 5.4 seconds; with the supercharged 470-hp engine, it'll take only 4.9 seconds; and in the Supersport it's estimated at just 4.7 seconds. All versions are limited to a top speed of 155 mph ..

There is a small bulb or an LED under the cover. Some are replaceable, some are soldered.

Question moved from 'Edge Computers'. It could be that the compressor itself is failing. It could be the electronic clutch on the unit. It could be the belt slipping if it makes a loud unnatural squealing noise. That is very low mileage at nearly 13 thousand miles, but as a 1994, the AC may need refrigerant gas.

• The Manufacturer decided to not produce this vehicle with self-programming capabilities.
• You must get an Automotive Locksmith to program the remote to your vehicle for you.
• If your vehicle requires professional programming we tell you, so you're not left with any doubt and searching all over the internet.
• It's still much cheaper to purchase a remote from NorthCoast Keyless and get it programmed by a Locksmith rather than buying from a Dealership!
• We strongly recommend calling a Local Auto Locksmith for help here.
