Hi all I'm new to this site but need some help .
i had my x Type jaguar serviced at Xmas . Why he had it I asked him to check out why engine management light was on . So he put his diagnostic console on it and told me it was due to a seal in the front wheel .he cleared the message
anyway on way home I noticed that both indicators light were on on dash board . Upon turning a corner I noticed indicators wouldn't work strange . After about 20 minute drive they suddenly worked
after the next day I noticed that the indicators the front beam the central locking inside the intermittent wipers only worked after driving a while or when they wanted .ive just been in hospital for two weeks and add to the rest the alarm doesn't want to talk to key fob so when I try to get in car alarm goes off even when putting key in egnition .
Now before he serviced the car I had no issues at all
people have said try the following but yo no avail
put leads together from battery
charge battery up I have with a CTEK charger
passenger side wires drop down put back up I did
Help before I throw the danm think in the scrap yard

There's nothing in the service schedule work to account for all these electrical issues.Weird electrical faults in modern Jaguars are often the sign of a failing battery. I also recall from posts in this forum that the main battery leads are known to deteriorate. Members with this model will know more about this.
That's a strange diagnosis of the MIL (check engine light). I don't suppose he told you the actual code?
Putting the battery leads together (after disconnecting them) is known as a 'hard reset'. It resets learned settings such as fuel trims to default values but is unlikely to have any effect on the issues you have listed.
