headlight delay suddenly non-functional
It of course was working before, but now it does not. Only off, on & auto work, but cycling through the 3 delay times has no effect, the lights shut off when the car is shut off. no indication in the cluster messages either.
Any ideas? Thanks.

This is a computer controlled function. The first thing I would suspect is a glitch caused by a low battery. I would suggest having your battery load tested.
If the battery is OK, it could be just a random computer glitch.
Try to reset the computers by disconnecting the battery for a couple of minutes. Then follow the instructions in this thread after reconnecting the battery: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...cement-106281/

Oh I wish it were that. The battery was replaced by the dealer just a few months ago. But thanks for the suggestion. I have the Select Edition warranty but was hoping it might be something simple.
That is still no guarantee against a computer glitch. I still recommend a disconnect and reconnect of the battery. It is possible for any computer to have a 'soft' failure and require a reset to begin running properly again. I am sure you have experienced this on your PC. This can happen on your car's computers also.
