Why is the Jaguar XEL center console screen not lighting up?
2 Answers
There are several reasons why the Jaguar XEL center console screen may not light up: Low voltage: If it happens occasionally, it may be normal, as the instant power is used for ignition when starting the car. If the voltage is too low, it may cause the screen not to light up. Abnormal power supply: If the screen fails to light up multiple times, you should check whether the power supply to the display is normal. If the power supply is abnormal, the power supply module needs to be replaced. Faulty wiring: You can check whether the wiring connection is good. If there is a problem with the wiring, the wiring needs to be replaced. If the wiring is normal, then the display screen may be damaged.
My Jaguar XEL also experienced a black screen issue with the central control display, which really panicked me while driving on the highway. Don't panic yet, it's basically one of these possibilities: the worst fear is a loose or burnt screen cable, requiring a full replacement costing over ten thousand; if you've just made modifications, it's likely a wiring mistake; the cheapest scenario is a blown fuse, located in the fuse box behind the glove compartment on the passenger side; software glitches are also common, simultaneously holding the volume knob and the windshield defog button for 10 seconds can force a reboot; another pitfall is when the battery is low, the central control will self-protect and shut off, just check the voltage to know. It's advised not to tamper blindly, Jaguar's circuitry is too delicate, going directly to the 4S shop for a computer diagnosis is the most reliable.
