Hi have been doing some service w ork on my x350,, only problem i have now is now and again she starts flashing passanger air bag light, if i pull in and switch off, then restart she nearly alway resets, car has done very little driving this year, i fitted new battery last year she is kept garaged, no damp issues. Just fitted all new brake pipes pads and rear discs, who thought to put steel brake pipeseverywhere??any way. Any thoughts will help before i put a black bit of tape over the dash, i know a fellow who drilled a hole thru the dash and bulb on a van to put light out ps she is 2004 xj350

 

<p>Belleek - I've moved your post from the General Tech section to the Model specific X350 section where you will get more visibility/better response to your question&nbsp;</p>

 

Hi Belleek,

The first thing I would suspect is a weak battery due either to age (if it's the original battery) or the fact that you have not driven the car very much this year. A weak battery is a common cause of all sorts of odd issues on Jaguars, so I would recommend that you have the battery tested under load, especially while cranking the engine. If the voltage falls much below 12V while cranking, the battery may be your problem.

The next thing I would suspect is looseness or corrosion on the connector for the passenger seat weight pressure sensor. The sensor is mounted in the seat cushion, and its electrical connector is black with 3 wires attached and is probably located on the underside of the seat cushion. It's easy to remove the six Torx screws that attach the seat to the floor and tilt the entire seat back to disconnect, inspect and clean all the electrical connectors with zero-residue electrical contact cleaner spray (put an old towel on the carpet to protect from overspray).

Cheers,

Don

 

thanks for replys, i have put car on trickle charge, battery seems low, will let you know how i get on ,last resort fine drill bit throu dash and light [joke]regards

 

 

hi, a good charge has done the trick, no light ,thanks once again

 

If the battery was low on charge, I would just whip the car around to a mechanic or similar and get them to check the battery. I found that although after a trickle charge the battery seemed ok, it was the Crank Amperage that was causing me problems. I had to go buy a new battery to resolve the issue.
