For the black screen issue on Jaguar XJL display, preliminary diagnosis based on fault codes suggests two possible directions: the fan and related circuits, or the instrument cluster and related circuits. By referring to TOPIX wiring diagrams and circuit reference diagrams, the layout of circuits and component locations were determined. Following TOPIX technical guidelines, fuse F6110A was checked and found to be in good condition. The trim panel under the left side of the dashboard was removed to inspect the fan circuits, with both power supply and grounding confirmed normal. The cooling tube from the fan to the instrument cluster was properly installed. With the ignition switched on, the fan operated normally, ruling out issues with the fan and related circuits. The instrument cluster showed no external damage, and connectors were properly attached. Using TOPIX circuit diagrams, a multimeter measured power supply at C2MC01A/12 and grounding at C2MC01A/9, both normal. Based on these tests, the issue was preliminarily diagnosed as an internal fault in the instrument cluster. Swapping in an instrument cluster from a salvage vehicle displayed the mileage and Jaguar logo correctly, confirming the issue as an internal fault in the instrument cluster. No relevant technical bulletins were found in TOPIX, necessitating replacement of the instrument cluster. Advantages of Jaguar XJL display: Perfect design, user-friendly, energy-efficient, and clear screen. Disadvantages of Jaguar XJL display: No automatic headlights.

My Jaguar XJL also experienced a black screen before, and it turned out to be a wiring issue after inspection at the 4S dealership. Oxidation and poor contact at the infotainment system wiring connectors are common causes, especially in humid areas. Another frequent issue is a blown fuse - locate the 10A fuse labeled 'Infotainment' in the fuse box on the left side of the steering wheel. System crashes can also cause black screens; just hold down the volume knob to reboot the entire head unit. Once my navigation map update failed and crashed the system, requiring a reflash to recover. It's best not to attempt DIY repairs for such electronic faults as the wiring is too complex and you might damage other components. Also remember to check battery status, as low battery voltage can affect screen power supply.

Is an Annual Review Required for a B2 Driver's License Without Demerit Points?

B2 driver's license without demerit points does not require an annual review. According to legal provisions, if there are demerit point records for B-class licenses or above, a review must be conducted within thirty days after the end of the scoring cycle. However, if there are no demerit point records, the review for this scoring cycle can be exempted. Here are the specific details about the annual review of driver's licenses: Annual Review Time: Drivers holding A, B, N, or P-class licenses, C-class license drivers engaged in commercial transportation, and drivers over 60 years old must undergo an annual review once a year. Drivers holding other class licenses must undergo a review every two years. The review deadline is based on the annual review validity period indicated on the "Supplemental Certificate" of the driver's license. Drivers who fail to undergo the review on time will be fined 100 yuan. Required Materials: Submit the original and photocopies of the driver's license and ID card of the motor vehicle driver. A medical certificate issued by a county-level or above medical institution or a military regiment-level medical institution regarding the physical condition of the motor vehicle driver. The driver needs to submit three one-inch photos. Fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" at the vehicle management office.

What are the reasons for a sudden inability to shift gears in a manual transmission?

Below are the specific reasons for a sudden inability to shift gears in a manual transmission: Cold weather: Difficulty in shifting gears in cold weather is a normal phenomenon. After starting the cold engine and driving for a distance, the transmission temperature rises, making it easier to shift gears. Possible gear damage: The positioning component of the shift lever's ball head loses its function, allowing the shift lever to rotate freely around its own axis, making it impossible to accurately control the gear. Wear on the spherical working surface: Wear on the spherical working surface at the lower end of the shift lever prevents it from controlling the fork or the groove of the shift head, making both gear engagement and disengagement impossible.

What is the difference between 35w and 55w ballasts?

Here are the specific differences between 35w and 55w xenon ballasts: Brightness: Xenon lights come in two specifications: 35w and 55w. The different power levels result in varying degrees of brightness. Generally, the higher the wattage, the brighter the light. A 55w xenon light is brighter than a 35w one. Vehicle application: Due to the size and height of different vehicle types, drivers need to observe a wider range of environments when driving at night. 55W xenon lights are mostly used for large vehicles such as trucks, while ordinary cars are typically equipped with 35W xenon lights. Power consumption: The higher the power of the xenon light, the greater the power consumption of the vehicle. Under normal working conditions, the 55w version consumes more power.

Is It Normal for Cars to Consume More Fuel in Winter?

It is normal for cars to consume more fuel in winter. Here are the specific reasons for increased fuel consumption in cars: Affected by temperature: Temperature fluctuations cause variations in fuel consumption. In winter, lower temperatures lead to slightly higher fuel consumption. Vehicle not serviced for a long time: Dirty engine oil and air filters can also increase fuel consumption. Dirty oil leads to poor lubrication, increasing resistance in the engine's moving parts, which requires more energy to overcome, thus raising fuel consumption. Excessive carbon buildup in the vehicle: Carbon deposits can accumulate in the throttle body, fuel injectors, intake manifold, and piston tops. Excessive carbon buildup in any of these areas can result in incomplete combustion, leading to increased fuel consumption.

What is the emission standard for cars purchased in 2009?

Cars purchased in 2009 generally comply with China III or China IV emission standards. Here are specific methods to check the emission standard of your vehicle: Check the vehicle's environmental protection label: The label will have clear markings on the back. Inquiry at the vehicle management office: Bring the vehicle registration certificate (original or copy) to the local vehicle management office for inquiry. Check the vehicle's factory certificate: Normally the vehicle certificate is kept at the vehicle management office. It's recommended to make a copy when purchasing a car for backup. Determine by vehicle registration year: Most vehicles registered after 2008 are China IV standard. For 2007 registered vehicles, they could be either China III or China IV. Vehicles registered before 2007 are mostly China III or China II standard, while those before 2005 are basically China II standard.

Are Small Round Car Mirrors Useful?

This small round mirror is also known as a blind spot mirror. Due to the principle of convex mirrors, it can significantly reduce visual blind spots for drivers while driving. Additionally, during reversing, the small round mirror allows drivers to see the rear wheels of the vehicle, making reversing safer and more controlled. The small round mirror is indeed very useful. It provides drivers with a wider field of view and significantly reduces blind spots in their vision. Moreover, it is not expensive, costing only around ten to twenty yuan. It is highly recommended for car owners and friends who lack confidence in their driving skills to purchase one.
