Hi all,
got a new 05 Jag X type and love it! Car rides and handles like a dream! Orginally went to purchase a 05 Monte Carlo ss and came across the Jag Dealer and WOW! More bang for the buck.

Ok, so here is my problem. I got a new instrument cluster that has more fetures and when i installed it, a light flashed and on the display of the cluster it read, "Security Failed" And the vehicle will not start. I re-install the orginal cluster and all is fine.

Is there a way to re-set it?? Or am i screwed here?

Also, when i did that my windows all had the one push and they all go down and or up, now i have to hold the button for the window to go all the way down and up....

is there a cure for my baby??

Thanks

I had my cluster replaced on my '02 X-type and I have no problems except at night when the dashboard lights are on the odometer flashes every now and then. I told the dealership about it and they could not find a short anywhere. I think the dealership may have reset something in my car when they replaced the cluster b/c I haven't had any major problems.

Mine is an 05 and i wanted to swap out clusters from an 03. I guess i'll need another 04 cluster to make it work.

WHEN YOU SWAP CLUSTERS YOU HAVE TO GET THE DEALERSHIP TO RECONFIGURE IT TO YOUR SPECIFIC VEHICLE.
