Is it possible that you had something resting on the passenger seat during the trip when the light started flashing? The system can become confused if it is unsure whether the passenger seat is occupied.
Next, it would be sensible to check if there is obvious damage to the seat wiring/modules beneath the seats. After that, the best way forward would be to employ the services of a Jaguar specialist with either the full Jaguar or Autologic diagnosis systems. Tracing electrical faults of this nature can be very labour intensive so proper diagnosis with the appropriate kit is usually the most cost-effective way forward. Mike.

Thanks i can rule out first point as wife was sitting in passenger seat i did not change anything different before the drive out and the drive back it was the same day so cant see how the module got damaged so if it does not correct itself I’m guessing i will need to opt for number 3 getting some expert help any suggestions on people in my area south derbyshire

The first thing to do is count the flashes when they start, this will give you a code which will point you in the right direction.
Example, 2 flashes, short pause, 2 flashes, longer pause and then repeat gives you a “flash code of 2-2. This flash code will repeat 6 times before the light goes steady.
