Default Battery Replaced..now some quirks

So I just replaced my battery. The oem held up for 6 years. Anyhow, now the windows won't "auto" roll up (down works fine) and the AC isnt blowing cold.

Anyone have any idea what's going on here?

Sometimes you have to mess with the auto features a bit. With the windows up, hold the button down about 5 seconds after the window comes the whole way down. Then pull it up and hold it about 5 seconds after it goes all the way up. Do it for each window.


AC not blowing cold should be completely unrelated. The HVAC will revert back to default settings. Is your AC button lit up (sorry, but had to ask).

If what Strafe said doesn't help just give it about a week and it will start auto rolling up again.

I'll give that window thing a shot.

The A/C light is definitely on. I've tried turning it on and off multiple times to see if it will reset itself. No luck so far.

Thanks for the help fellas!

That worked for the windows! Thanks!

Still no luck with the A/C blowing cold.

jn it is probably due to the temp setting you have in auto mode. IF it needs to cool or defrost /demist then the AC will always be on.

I hate the auto mode, mostly just manually adjust the settings to keep the AC off.

So Strafe the AC was working just fine prior to changing the battery? And you have put the HVAC on the LO setting? Try putting it on LO and manually selecting AC and see what happens if you haven't already.

Can you see/hear the AC compressor clutch kick on?

So I removed and replaced my battery in an attempt to get the voice commands on my factory navigation to work, It didn't help, however, it did turn the temperature controls and readout to Celsius instead of Fahrenheit and I can not for the life in me figure out how to change it back to Fahrenheit. Also.... The oddest thing, when I took the battery out, the radio preset stations did not reset.... and I had the battery removed for over 15 mins?!?

2004, look under the settings portion of the radio. There is a feature in there that allows you to select either F or C. It is under the "User Settings" or another screen where you can set up the radio for how you want it to respond.

My A/C just started to "magically" work again.

I reckon it's one of those electrical Jaguar mysteries that were blessed with.
