how to fix door mechanism
my 95 xjs had a problem with the lock on the passenger side. after fooling around the outside handle became disconnected and everything else became free and works properly. Now how do i reconnect the outside door handle? I have removed the panel and felt around inside the door. I think I have found the place where it connects, but nothing to connect it to.
any and all help will be appreciated.

There should be a piece that connect to the door handle that you can clearly see, sometimes the pot metal can shear off and then you have to replace the handle, so if you don't see an obvious place for the linkage to go to that is perhaps just missing the part I showed, try to figure out if perhaps it broke off altogether. That is what happened to mine

Once you get it open, feel free to take some pics if you can't figure out what is missing and perhaps we can help you figure it out.
Even the diagrams can be difficult, its not easy to read about. You either need someone pointing things out with a visual aid or to just examine the mechanisms and figure out how they operate

You are most welcome I'm on travel this week so I was not able to take photos of the one I have in my garage hope the drawing helps. Sen photos if you need too and look for broken bits where the rods attach.
Send some cold and snow out here to us in the Sierra Nevada mountains its been in the mid to high 60's for over a week. Total snow at my place (6000ft) this season 4" should be over 6' by now.

I got It, the problem was that I was working in antiquate lighting. when the sun came out and things warmed up yesterday I moved the car outside and saw that I was working in the wrong area. thanks to the diagram the was sent to me by tokyodon I was able to see were I was going and managed to fix the problem. Now if I could get the panel back on like it was I will be one happy JAGUAR OWNER.

Hard to do when you can't see!
