Jaguars are so iconic that they are used in movies and video games. It’s almost impossible not to have some exposure to the iconic car’s image. But even the highest quality vehicles also struggle with everyday issues.
Sometimes it’s something as small as an oil leak that will take no more than a few minutes to fix, but there’s always the potential that the issue can transform into something more expensive. One of these is wiring issues, which is incredibly inconvenient and can throttle the true potential of the vehicle.
Let’s take a look at the symptoms of wiring issues, how they affect your Jaguar’s performance and a business that can provide you with the service to fix any of these issues.
Unreliable Battery
Batteries are made to last about five years or so, but wiring issues can easily lead Jaguar owners to believe that the number isn’t reliable. These issues can manifest in a variety of ways, such as issues with headlights or the radio.
Drivers will want to ensure that the problems in this scenario are wiring issues, as there’s a possibility that wiring may not be the root cause of the problem. Batteries can be checked at auto parts stores beforehand to ensure that the battery itself is defective or that the issue may have wiring issues that need to be addressed.
Blown Fuses
Fuses are meant to stop components of a vehicle from short-circuiting, so as can be imagined, your Jaguar short-circuiting is a significant sign of an issue with the wiring. A blown fuse can affect a lot of electrical components, such as interior lights or the radio. In more extreme cases, the Jaguar itself won’t start.
Fortunately, the symptoms are easy to spot, and replacing a blown fuse is relatively cheap and quickly done. With that said, if blown fuses are often occurring, the best course of action is to have the vehicle looked at by a professional and allow them to suggest the best course of action.
Burning Smells
A burning scent is a significant indicator of something being wrong with your Jaguar. Electrical issues tend to be a bit different from the other scents that stem from car troubles. The smell is like burning plastic. A scent like this coming from the vehicle requires immediate attention, as the problem can always be the sign of a more significant issue.
If the problem is recurring or white smoke begins to appear alongside the other symptoms, the vehicle should be serviced immediately to ensure no damage comes to the car.
Engine Won’t Start
Sounds are also an important indicator of how Jaguars are working. A battery that has wiring issues may make any number of sounds, from the “ticking” often associated with a dead battery to no sound at all. Battery issues can have a large pool of causes, so it’s best to let a professional look at and determine the problems’ grounds.
Alternator Issues
The alternator helps to recharge the battery and keep the car running. Some warning signs of the alternator going out in your Jaguar are the lights dimming, as well as the warning sign showing up on your dash. The car can also unexpectedly stall. The alternator is a significant source of electric issues and should be checked if there are regular electronic issues with your Jaguar.
