I noticed on my drive home today that my memory seats and mirrors are no longer functioning. I use this feature often as I have one of the settings set to move the passenger mirror so I can see the rear wheel for curb avoidance when parallel parking.

In recent months, the memory mirrors seemed to have real trouble remembering what position I set it at, requiring nearly daily correction. Now it has just completely crapped out. Hitting the buttons does nothing, and I cannot even set it (does not acknowledge on the info screen). The progressive nature of the failure makes me think it could be some sort of wiring issue. What do you think?

I am thinking it could be one of the famous "electrical gremlins" caused by a bad battery. My AGM battery is about 3 years old. The car has been plugged in to a CTEK almost every day that it is not driven, and recently it has been driven every weekday for about 20 miles.

Any idea what I can check?

If I take a step back and look objectively, this car has been nothing but trouble in the last 3 years that I've owned it, and I could never recommend a Jaguar to anyone who fall in love with a car just by the style of it and the way it looks. I do love the car, but it's making me seriously consider selling it and leasing a new F-Type instead, where it will be under factory warranty the whole time!

 

Do the seats move at all. I would guess the fuse would be the 1st to check. Then the switch itself.

 

Not sure if the seats move, I did not try. But I did use the power mirrors "manually" with no problem. Will try tomorrow! I hope it's a fuse!

 

Well I get in the car today and the memory seats are working. Something tells me it is one of those weird battery gremlins. I thought an AGM battery + CTEK was going to solve all my problems!!

 

Check your battery cables at the battery clamps. If either is hot after running for a few minutes, it needs to be replaced. My 07 had a significant problem at the negative clamp crimp which dropped the voltage significantly to all the systems in the car.
