Went to Death Valley last week. 116F. While there, my door locks and trunk lock began malfunctioning. I've read a lot of posts on a lot sites and have seen either driver's or passenger's door lock actuator listed as the cause.
Had the car in to local Jag service dept. After a very expensive estimate, they offered to replace rear body ecu as offending item, with no guarantee that would fix the problem. I declined and am now a registered member of this forum.

Hoping to learn something from you folks before I start dismantling the Jag...

btw - I did see an incomplete post on this forum from June of last year describing almost the exact same thing. I'll keep reading.

On a happy note, the A/C on my 12 year old S type performed flawlessly in the desert!

Cheers

 

Welcome to the forum,

Good to know Jaguar A/C will perform at 116F although the opportunity for testing this is extremely unlikely in my part of the World!

A wise decision to reject the kind offer from you local service depot. If you post the door lock question in S-Type / S type R Supercharged V8 - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum section, I'm sure the resident experts will come up with a more cost effective solution.

Welcome to the forum.

Good to see you.

The only way I could test that would be to put it in the oven.

Humidity integrity, not a problem.

Good to have you with us.
They don't call it Death Valley for nothing!
Post up all the details in the S Type section.
Is this a fob malfunction or with the buttons also?

Hello again friends!
I moved the thread to the s type/ s type r supercharged section. Link below -

Please take a look when you can and contribute to my future success story solving this issue. I've done a simple test recommended by Joycesjag and added a little info that I recalled from talking with the dealer.
