Hello everyone, I am facing a problem with Jaguar XF 2012
All rotating vents were stuck on open and changing settings to Auto or Always Open didn't help. I tried pressing the manual button and closing them by pressing button on screen. Neither of those worked.
When changing secondary battery (Eco Start/Stop one) to new one I disconnected the main battery. After connecting everything back, I suppose car made system reset, and all vents closed down. Now they're stuck on closed position and can't open (tried same methods to open them as when they were opened).
If I understand correctly, their closing indicated that they can work, but something is preventing it from working correctly..

Additional information that I noticed:
• Tried to disconnect main battery two times for 15 minutes, nothing changed.
• No matter how much I drive, vents still can't open.
• Main battery and secondary battery charge while the engine is running is good.
• I'm not getting any air from front windshield vents even when windshield heating is at max.
• If the temperature is set to max, cold air is still blown

Maybe someone has experienced a similar problem and knows where the problem might be?

 

I think you know how to fix this, as I answered your question on the other forum you posted on!

 

I'm facing the same issue. All vents are not rotating and the fuses are all good. What might be the problem? And how to fix it?

 

 

I've seen the video. I Couldn't find that red pre-heater cable when I had it opened. The car in the video is a 2010 xf, mine is 2012. Where is it located?

On the passenger side (UK) just pull down the felt under dash panel

I think the problem is the Diesels have this pre-heater cable and the gas engines don't? But he never posted what engine he has?
