Got a dash changing job in for jag s-type year 1998. Put the new dash in to check it was working, car wouldnt start. hmmm.......

X-type , yes definitely. Even the keys are stored in the dash, like VW.
S-type, i have never done, but if the car is not even cranking, then i would say that is the same.
Whats inside the dash? Whats wrong with the old one?

I had a similar problem before. It was caused by dry joint on one of the blue smd resistors at the back. I advise you to re-solder all the components on the board and try,
