Deadlocking bleeper

[blackflash]

My deadlocking bleeper worked reliably for the first year I had the car but then failed a year or so ago. I enquired and found a new unit would cost £70 or so, so left it.

Around 8 months ago started it working again... and stopped again 3-4 months later.

This would seem to indicate a poor connection rather than a failed unit but this puzzles me as it either works for several months or does not - it doesn't just have off-days.

I guess I should start at the bleeper unit itself and check down the line - is this easy to identify?

Not a life-threatening problem of course, just me being fussy about keeping the car as it was meant to be if at all possible.

Thanks,

Nigel

Hi Nigel,
I had a similar problem with my wife's XJ8 only hers was blowing a fuse!
It seems these are very prone to water damage due to where they are positioned. I got a good used replacement from Eurojag which fixed the problem and that was about a year ago with no further issues.

Thanks I might have to do the same - and Eurojag are excellent in my experience.

Is it easy to locate, check and if necessary replace the unit?
