SLCM replacement/
2002 XKR 100 convertible.
This story begins with user error. I had a Gatorade spill in the trunk frying my SLCM. Everything worked fine except for the convertible top and rear windows. They were completely non functional. I did several things checking the top to find the fail. I ended up taking the SLCM out from beneath the fuse box in the trunk. When I got it opened up sure enough one of the chips was fried. I have seen some threads mentioning SLCM replacement. I tried SNG Barret and others but were told that the part needs programed by the dealership. The dealership has quoted me $550 for the part but said I would need to have the car there so that they can program it for me. $$$ I have found a thread explaining how to program the key fobs, is there something else that the dealership needs to do to program this for me?
Thanks for the help.

Rinse sparingly, and you can use a small paintbrush or soft toothbrush to gently rub off the gunge. Just make sure that it's absolutely dry before refitting. I'd certainly give it a try before resorting to a specialist rebuilder/replacement.
To some extent it depends on whether you can manage with your baby laid up in the meantime.

The SLCM is a programmable unit: it needs to be introduced to your car, and it won't recognise the keys: hence no start.
Since putting the old one back doesn't help, the car may have decided that someone is tampering and immobilised itself. Appreciate that it can't now be driven, but you need someone with access to the appropriate Jaguar diagnostics (e.g. IDS, SDD or last resort, dealer) to resolve this.
You also need to check the VCATS label (not sure where it is located on the XJ) to confirm compatibility
I believe the XJ is the same as the XK, but suggest you post this in the XJ forum for a definitive response.
