X-Type Flashing temp Display

[Davideo]

After a short time of driving an the car is getting warm inside temp about 22-23C the display starts flashing and nothing I do can stop it

When the car has stopped and the ignition is turned off ,after a short while when the car is restarted the display is back to normal.

Please can anybody help with this problem?

 

    Thanks Dave

Hi Dave

 

There may be several causes for this....one that crops up a lot is when the vehicle's battery is on its way out, this can trigger the blinking display.

Other possible causes could be the display module going faulty and also loose connections.

I would start by checking the vehicle battery with a heavy discharge test to establish the condition of it, especially as the weather is now getting colder.

Hope this helps?

Hi all, I have the same problem on my 2006 S type. It's mid summer and my battery is fine. What would you suggest as the next step to try?

Many Thanks,

Welcome to the club, Nigel.

 

If the battery is OK, I would be inclined to check the fuses and the connections.

 

The easiest to get to first are the best options.
