First time in a forum HELP!!!
Hi everyone,
My name is Robert. I'm from Orange CA. I work as an accountant for a great group of people but have always been a car enthusiast. My employer and close friend asked if I could help do a few repairs and sell his 1990.5 Jaguar XJS convertible. It's really pretty, lots of fun to drive, but being a domestic fella all these years (with the exception) of a few Porsches, I'm completely lost in this thing. Looks like spaghetti under the hood to me. My problem is, all of a sudden the turn signals, brake lights and hazard quit working. The car had been sitting for about a year. Last night the back right window wasn't going up. It seems it has quite a few intermittent problems. Any help would be extreeeamly appreciated.
Thank you!!
Sincerely,
Rob (confusedbyacat)

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone! It turned out to be the Hazard Light Switch. It wasn’t stuck. It was clicking full on to full off, but I needed to push it a few times to deal with the corrosion. Yep aholbro1, it's a V12 and I think it has something like 27 cooling hoses?? (nice link btw lol) Now that I've spent some time and got familar with it, it's not so bad. I really wish I could keep it. I could but the gas would kill me and so would my ol' lady. Hmmmm.... car or chick, car or chick? Car can get chicks... I'll have to think about this one. 
You all are great! Thanks!
