Its the battery. Ya got a vicious cycle going. Try undoing the battery terminals, negative first, and then do a hard reset. The hard reset consists of touching both disconnected terminals for a few seconds.

Welcome to the forum Buffalorancher,

To eliminate the obvious first. You are PRESSING the control knob to turn it ON/OFF and not ROTATING it?

Please follow this link New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the New Member Area - Intro a MUST forum and post some information about yourself and your vehicle for all members to see. In return you'll get a proper welcome and some useful advice about posting to the forum.

Not knowing what MY you have I bet you'll find the fuse location in your owners manual.

My car often did the same thing. New battery fixed it.
