Expert's Assistant chatimg
Customer: I just loaded my Visa info after posting my issue: Both headlights quit working at once. Fuse? If so what type and where is it in my vehicle?
JA: Have you checked the fuses? Have you checked the bulbs?
Customer: I don't know for sure where the fuse is which powers these lights. And no, I figured it would be extraordinary coincidence for both to blow at once
JA: What is the model/year of your Jaguar?
Customer: 2005 "S" Type 6 Cylinder
JA: Are you fixing your vehicle yourself? What have you tried so far?
Customer: I will attempt to fix if it's a fuse and I can find out where it is
JA: Anything else you want the mechanic to know before I connect you?
Customer: No, but I'd like to know whether my payment went through. My screen locked up when I was trying to agree to the 50 cent charitable donation

Good Afternoon, my name is ***** ***** ill be helping you, so sorry to hear about the issues on the Jaguar here, if your question has made it to me then yes the payment went through. just so im clear its just the front headlights that went out? both high and low beams?

Customer
My two independent high beam lights in middle if array work. The two which have both high and low beam filaments quit working at the same time

okay thank you that helps, so you have traditional halogen bulbs and not HIDs correct?

well i pulled up the wiring diagram for both styles of bulbs and it seems that the bulbs do not share the same fuses, so a simple blown fuse would not fix it im afraid, what i do see is that both side lights are grounded out by the front electronic control module, if this module were to fail it could cause both sides to go out at the same time, however before we replace anything i recommend we ohm out the wires from the bulbs to the fuse box and to the control module. keep me posted on what we find or if we have any further questions, im here to help!
