Welcome Angel!!

 

HI Guys. I am so lost, on this site and with my car that i'm about to pull my hair out. My car started fine but i heard a beeping sound. 2 beeps, pause, 2 beeps, pause, etc. for a total of 12 beeps. Drove to the store, turned car off, removed the key, heard the beeps, got in the car, drove home, turned off the car, heard the beeps, now the car won't start but i still hear the beeps and all lights, radio, heat, etc. come on. Red light near gear **** comes on for a second then goes out. I've been trying to reset FOBs, i hear the 1st chirp when i turn the key 4 times but not when i remove it & push a button. What else can i try????
Please Let The Jag Gods Be With Me!!!!!

 

#1 Have your battery tested.

ps - welcome!

 

Battery went dead last weekend, got a jump. Everything was fine for the week then this past weekend, it all went down hill. Had the battery hooked to portable battery charger for hours yesterday, every time it looked charged, as soon as i turned the key, the needle on the charger would move back down to low battery. Lights, radio, etc. would still come on though.

Thanks. I'm still looking. I've actually been on this site since Sunday nite when my car wouldn't start. I just joined today to post my question because i saw people trying to help others but needed to know how many beeps they were hearing, if the lights were coming on, etc. So i joined to be as specific as possible for more help.

 

Sounds like a new battery is needed. It may clear up most if not all your problems/symptoms.

 

About how much $$ are we talking about i saw on here that i could just get any type 92 battery as long as it had a CCW of 70 something. I have it all written down. Is that correct?

 

I also saw that it could be my security system because the red light is coming on near my gear shift and my battery is not draining after leaving my lights and radio on for more than 3 minutes. Is this possible?

 

Before you go chasing all kinds of possible faults, first get the battery checked and charged or replaced as necessary.

A dying battery causes all kinds of weird electrical issues.

As i stated earlier, i charged it for hours yesterday and when i started it, the needle on the charger immediately showed that i had a dead battery but the lights, radio and all other electrical components still work. This is my 3rd car since Dec '12, three months ago. I'm hoping that it is just the battery but the way my luck has been going, who knows!

 

welcome to the forums, listen to Graham get a battery and go from there, even if you charge you battery back up it will die very soon, a normal battery only lasts about 4 years

 

I am definitely going to listen to Graham . That's why i came here. I wanted advice from the experts and i got it. Thanks guys. I will be getting my battery tomorrow and will be back to post and let everyone know how things went.

 

Whenever the battery is disconnected, you always lose some settings because the memory is erased:

1. clock
2. window 'one touch up' function
3. stored idle settings in the ECM (engine runs with default settings)

All these can easily be reset so don't think something else has gone wrong.

If you post battery related issues in your tech section thread https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...t-start-89978/ you'll get advice on how to do any necessary resets.

I'm reposting from the Mid-Atlantic section.

DreWRoolZ I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!!!
I have been working on the car since Wednesday and missed 3 days from work and had people from all over the world give GREAT advice. Here you come and give your wonderful but un-thought of advice. So i say "Can't hurt to call the dealer and see what they and guess what? "Mam, every month when you make a payment you need to call us and manually set your PassTime Code.

And i owe a special thanks to Norri & GGG for sending me to the Mid-Atlantic section where someone in my hometown gave me the solution and to JimC64 for total access.

OH YEAH!!!!

 

Angel,

You sound a lot happier tonight so the battery and resets must have got your X-Type running smoothly?

Hope so.

Graham
