Instrument lights don't work
I just drove home my first Jaguar last night. I bought a 2003 Str from Crown Jag/Benz in St. Pete's.
I was seriously happy when I started my 1200mile trip home yesterday until it got dark and I realized my instrument lights didn't work. I literally had no dashboard lights except for the led on the od. I ended up using my cell phone to check my guages every once in a while, as there are no freeway lights on I75 North through Kentucky and Tenn. to illuminate the interior of your car at night in the Mountains.
Is this a common problem with these cars. I used the search feature and only found some info on XJ's, nothing on S-types or R's.
I have the full warrenty till 2011 so I'm sure Jaguar will fix it. I'd just like to know if it's a common thing and what the problem is if someone knows anything about it.
Thanks for the help, I'm really happy to be a new Jaguar owner!

yeah check that, im sure it was just something they overlooked when they got the car.... they are a pretty good dealership ( im from south tampa) and great to get the warranty too! and ive made plenty of trips from gainesville to tampa and back at night so i know how this could be frustrating on 75! let us know how it turns out..

RE: Instrument lights don't work
Well Bigdreams...You always look at it things in that perspective after you shell out that cash. I do atleast. I knew of the recalls and certain things that go wrong, but no as much as I've heard in this forum. It would have made me do my homework a little more. It doesn't really matter though, every car has its issues right? Maybe if I would have been in here earlier, I would have just save more cash to get a 7 series. Problem is, that would have taken a year or so and I wanted to ride now...lol
