Centree console buttons have failed
Hi all,I'm hoping someone has a quick solution to the problem that has developed with my 2014 Jaguar F-Type R.The ECO button, Exhaust note button, Traction and the spoiler raise/lower button have all just stopped working. Normally when pressed, the exhaust button would light up and the gets louder, now nothing.Does anyone have any ideas? Is it a common fault? could it be as simple as a fuse?Thanks in advance..Lee.

The first question to be asked with respect to ANY electrical failure in a modern car is this: how old is the battery? If the car has the original battery then that is the first suspect. The electronic modules need full voltage to operate properly and the signs of a failing battery are random. For the record, brand new batteries are rarely fully charged at purchase (almost never, in fact).

For all of them to stop working at once... I would try disconnect and reconnect the battery first before taking it into a dealer.
Not sure on the fuse question although the owners handbook provides info on what each and every fuse does - its worth looking to see if you spot one that is related to the center console switches.
