Electrical problem......where do I start?

[Brent21]

Hi Folks, can anyone help with an electrical problem? when I switch the heated rear window on or the front de-mister my radio goes off, when I turn the switches off the radio comes back on. I haven't a clue where to start looking for this fault. I am hoping one of you guys have had similar and can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

 

Brent.

Should have said, my car is a Jaguar XF 2.2 premium Luxury D. Auto 2013.

Sounds like a cross over somewhere. Do you have a code reader to pull any fault codes?

[Brent21]

Thank you for your reply, greatly appreciated.

No I don't have one, but I know someone who does, I will ask him to do a check. When I have the fault codes how do I translate them?

Simply post the codes you get and we’ll let you know what they mean, possible causes and solutions.

Please bear in mind that some of the codes you retrieve will be historical. Write them all down and then clear the lot, take the car for a drive and then see what codes, if any, come back.

Thanks again Jimbov8 I will do that

Just sounds like little quirks and eccentricities, kinda like when you meet a cute girl and she’s a little nuts. It’s just part of her charm 😆🤭😉

Incidentally, one of the rear doors of my S Class doesn’t lock with the rest and one of my wing mirrors won’t electronically fold all the way in lol. What can you do 🤷🏻‍♂️😉👍🏻
