00' s-type-Odometer led display not working!!
2000 S-Type 4.0
Hey guys! Have any of you had a problem with the ododmeter LED display . It recently stopped all together. For a while, it would come on 15 minutes after turning on the car. Now, it doesn't come on at all. Every thing else on the dash seems work. Ithing that is the only LED display on the dash besides the Stereo.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks.
Bill

for a new one .. they'll take your mileage and send it to jaguar and jag will burn the mileage into the cluster before they ship to the dealer...
the dealer will still be able to get your mileage in the broken cluster.. there laptop can get it... takes 2 minutes..

RE: 00' s-type-Odometer led display not working!!
Before any Jaguar S-Type owner (mine is 2000)has their hard-earned money (approximately $1500 in San Diego, California) ripped off by the Dealerreplacing their Instrument Pack when the Odometer reading is displaying the wrong number and/or displaying garbage (displayed as dashes)in some of the fields,
the owner should first try to reset the Jaguar onboard computer which stores and displays the odometer readings.
In my case, I had lost 85,000 miles on the odometer which made my car appear much more worn (and thus muchless valuable)than was accurate.
The simple way for the owner to perform this reset is to cut the power to car computer by disconnecting one of the leads to the car battery. I disconnected mine for a 24 hour period, to make sure to dissipate all electric charge in the car (full 24 hours disconnection may notbe necessary). When I reconnected the car battery and then inserted the car key and examined the odometer series of readings, they were all back to normal. I then re-configured the presets in the radio and then, all wasfixed.
Interestingly, I had the vehicle at the local dealership here and asked them specifically to cut the power and see what happens before proceeding, and they simply refused to do so and demanded the full $1500 to replace the Instrument Pack. They stood their ground in this posture for a 4 full days impasseuntil I was forced to take back the car un-fixed.
Clearly, the dealership was trying to rip me off. Do not be fooled. Stay away from the dealership unless the car is in warranty and the part to be replaced is borne by the dealership and Jaguar US headquartersin New Jersey. If they are determined to bankrupt Jaguar between them, let them. But hang on to your own hard-earned. That money is yours; you earned it.
