No turn signal noise?
I just traded in my XKR for an XKR-S. I noticed almost immediately that the turn signals don't tik-tok and no seatbelt warnings sound, either.
I see this is was a recall on earlier XFs, but can't find any mention of it for any XK. Has anybody dealt with this before, and have a fix? |
There is a little speaker on the back of the instrument cluster. Not a hard job to pull it and replace the speaker. I'm pretty sure there is a quick how-to in the forums somewhere. Tried the Search yet? It works OK sometimes.
|
All searches I've seen have been for other and older Jags. I haven't seen any for X150s.
|
And some of us actually remove said speaker!
|
The speaker is defective. I replaced mine, simply remove the dash. Bought a new speaker from Germany and soldered it in. It was so annoying with all the alarms, rings and other stupid noises, I took it out again. It is a 2 hour job and not difficult so make your choice. Failure rates seem very high on R-S models

So when you removed the dash, that included the entire cluster/instrument panel? |
Yes, the instrument cluster is removed and then you take the gauge pack apart. It sounds daunting but it really is not difficult. Download the manual and you will see with a few basic hand tools it is easily done. Hardest part is soldering in the new speaker and if I remember correctly it only had two or three connections on it. I kept my new speaker in case when I sell the car, I can install the speaker again if desired.

Where'd you source the speaker from? Let me know if you have a link. It's something I'd like to get done for sure.
|
I got it from eBay Germany. It was from a VW. I will have to get the part number and you can search for it. |
